Camping in Sussex

We got back last night after a fortnight down south combining visiting friends, a 3 generational camping holiday and a weekend of medieval re-enactment. It's been a really great combination of fun, relaxation, excitement and exploration.


My children and I had driven down from Cumbria with a car full of medieval camping gear and detoured to deliver our old medieval (actually Victorian) cart to a friend just off the A1(M). Nice to catch up with some of our medieval chums after a year. Then it was on to Ascot to stay with friends for Saturday night. The children are all a similar age and very quickly settle in to playing with each other despite a 2 month gap.


The Sunday was spent at a BBQ with my 4 best friends from high school, 3 husbands and our 9 children aged 1 to 8. It was a very relaxed afternoon with the children enjoying the paddling pool in the sun and the grown ups able to chill and chat over a few glasses of sangria and Pimms.
