Today sees me venting a fit of camping rage over at my column in At Home magazine
Since both my daughters are going camping with the Brownies this weekend, the Brownie leader asked me if I wanted to come along as a chaperone...
Luckily I just about stopped myself from screaming, “No! Of course not! Are you insane!” I mean, come on, we are talking about a total back to nature experience here. We are talking about waking up amongst a gaggle of Brownies in a really bad mood without any access to a coffee machine.

Did they find another mum to do it? Sometime we ask anybody because we truly are desperate!! When I 'camp' with Brownies we stay in a chalet. It's almost like camping. But this year I'm camping camping twice with the Guides - I am half dreading it and half thinking 'it'll be good for my soul'...if I can get through it, I'll be strong enough to get through anything life has to throw at me. But I will say, we leaders are lovely ladies and great fun and you would be missing a fantastic opportunity. You could offer to stay one night and job share it with another mum. If you want some blogging material us leaders at stuffed to the gills with it but you have to take the bog to Mohammed :0)
...but we can't proof read or spell properly!
Kellogsville....Yeah they've found some other mums thank goodness. The thing is I wouldn't sleep a wink in a tent and I am bad enough in the mornings as it is - I'd be scared I'd frighten the kids with my morning growling ya know?
Well you can't really be expected to camp with all these critters and larger predators can you? It's bad enough in the UK with nosy badgers and ants, but bears and big cats are a whole nuther ball game. Ooh, no.
Camping is great. When Ray Mears is your pack leader and can build a log cabin with a working aga and four poster out of a few birch twigs. It's less enticing when your in a 6 berth tent with 5 other people who fart and / or snore constantly.
Camping is really great!
You have nice blog, beautiful work :)

Camping is not for me. I am with you. I will only camp in short interval if my husband asked really nicely.

Great post. You really write with a flourish. I am with you on the no camping ban. That surely should be a punishment meted out to criminals and adulterers.
Don't blame you. Where would the hairdryer go huh? Where?
