Home from the hills

Home from the hills and a quick blog before I head to my comfy bed. Part of the joy of camping is returning to the comforts of home afterwards, and I have already had a bath and a nice family meal with Grandma, James, Ally and Davie. However I did enjoy my weekend away. James put up our tent and he brought loads of sleeping mats, so it was warm and dry even though the rain during the night was very heavy. On Saturday evening the teachers had a very nice Chinese meal delivered directly to the camp site, and later we all sat and chatted round the camp fire and it was very pleasant. And I even did a bit of walking as I walked in to checkpoint groups of pupils. When we woke up this morning I felt fine because although the rain woke me a few times I got plenty of sleep. I nipped down to the shops to get bacon and sausage rolls for the teachers, yummy.
It was nice to see Ally and Davie when I got home mid-afternoon. Ally was in a schools sailing race yesterday and came 3rd out of 36 in one race, and 6th out of 36 in the other race. Excellent! His sailing lessons on holidays have come in handy at last! So now everyone is in bed except me and that's where I'm going right now.
