 We bought a tent we hope to take our holidays this year with my parents , them in their caravan, us in  our tent. We put it up here in the garden for the bank holiday weekend.
Myself and Steffens seven year wedding anniversary was Sunday 5th May...We bought food from M and S and ate our special meal with the four kids in the new tent in the garden. We are 18 years together this year..what can i say..no two people so well suited, still in love, still feeling so fortunate to have met each other..it can be busy with the small four children but as we keep saying these are the happy days and good times....we have family round us and good friends and neighbours.



We had intended to sleep out for a night as a trial run for the weekend in June with the folks at a campsite. Some of us slept a bit but most of us were too excited to sleep, we ended up coming back into the house. Myself and Steffen both have headcolds/sinus problems and i realised you can not co-sleep on an airbed with the baby. I will need a thermarest for the next night out. We have realised we will have to be prepared for excited little people the first few nights in the tent...it was difficult to get them to stay in their sleeping bags, hopefully June will be warmer.
