| | | Re: Winter set to return... Ah, Tufftie, I've been camping in the Welsh mountains at this time of year. Had the campsite to myself too!  And the carton of milk I put outside the tent was frozen in the morning too! You'll have a great time. Take a hot water bottle, and a woolly hat and wear it to bed.

I don't know the song, because I'm out of touch with the real world most of the time, not being from this planet.  But honestly a wooly hat will save you freezing! And who takes glamour camping?

| | | Re: Winter set to return... It certainly looks like winter is back with the snow coming this weekend, having to put bags over some bushes to stop their buds dropping off
On the plus side if it snows hard enough sleding

Well Saturday night it rained and it seemed to be wet and windy all night but when we opened the tent in the morning we were greeted by beautiful white scenery - as well as snow falling in on us - lol  Real mix of weather - warm in the sun but icy in the wind - but some beautiful starry nights
