Nights under canvas

[Jessey]

I decided to camp at the field last night, I've been itching to break out my tent for months but I've been so busy working on the field I didn't feel I could relax and enjoy it, but now its slowed down it felt like I could, plus I was hoping Cornflower would give birth as he owner said 24 hours when he looked at her Thursday night.

Jess's tent training 2 years ago has stuck, I released my pop up tent not 3ft from her nose and she just stood watching, not so much as a twitch


It was a perfect night, beautiful weather to sit reading and watching the, now flying, barn owl babies fluttering between trees and swooping around the pond and the parents bringing them food then in the early hours it rained, I love the sound of rain on the tent and this morning its cool and dry and I'm sat drinking coffee listening to the horses nibbling grass and the birds chirping away.

It's not a bad life

Lovely Jessey, I love staying at my field, such a lovely way to spend time and listening to the sound of horses munching has got to be one of the most gorgeous noises going.

Amazing! I'd love to camp with Pete. What did the horses make of it?

I've gotten into 'camping' as my OH has a motorhome - we've done a few nights on the South Downs, the North Downs & are off to the New Forest next month and then a week in the Peak District in September. He goes off exploring Europe every summer for 2 mobths- France this time & I was super lucky to spend a week in Saint Tropez.

Apparently it doesn't count as 'proper' camping though as we have all the modern day luxuries ...!

The horses aren't bothered at all, hank would love to get in the tent given the chance One part they do seem to quite like is the extra company and treats

One day I will do this sounds brilliant

Took the cob to camp and we stayed alongside the horses in a caravan.
Bbq etc etc. It was great.

This camping thread has given me such pleasure. I have long wanted to sleep outside again - my father had us sleep in the back garden. OH thinks it crazy. But I am so glad it was lovely for you.
