The great outdoors?

Last summer, my brother-in-law and his partner spent a weekend in a tent in our garden. They could have stayed in the house but their usual camping trip had been cancelled so I guess it was better than nothing!

We re-named our pond ‘Loch Doon’ in honour of their visit and put out some helpful signs warning about the local wildlife (think vampire bats and zombie badgers) and the dangers of swimming in (not very) deep water due to the crocodiles, which made them laugh. We used our chiminea for the first time, too, sitting round it like a campfire and toasting marshmallows, and a great time was had by all.

They obviously enjoyed it as they came back today for another weekend by the 'lake'.
