What a fab super weekend this was! Organised by the Durham Dubbers WV club at the National Trust's Gibside estate, a serene place and a perfect way to end the summer holidays for the kids... The weather was nice, hazy mornings sunny afternoons with just a tiny bit of drizzle as we were packing up on the sunday. Loads of walks, dragonflies, communal bbq's, friendly folk and good music on the Saturday evening meant a good time was had by all .... I'll let the pictures tell the tale!!
But they did get it erected eventually!! In the meantime the kids made friends...
Whinge whinge whinge, i think the kids would have liked a bit less walking
At one point this turned into "8 men and an awning" and provided us with a good hour of entertainment!!!
Whinge whinge whinge, i think the kids would have liked a bit less walkingbut that didn't stop Karen and I from taking them exploring
we did quite a lot of exploring
we thought it was nice, a walk in the woods
you never know what you could find!
Check out the tiny split screen camper!!
and loads of other nice beetle and vans
I think we made our camp quite cosy!
Belle was delighted with these welding gloves we 'won' in the charity auction!
I don't think this little chap had seen a ball bigger than him before....
