Have you ever been camping?
Derwent Water in the English Lake District is my favourite place in England apart from London. What? I’m a Gemini, we embrace all things. 🤣
Imagine pitching a tent at the edge of that lake, right at the top. You wake up, unzip the door and roll it up, have coffee and your breakfast. You never wanted to move. There was no good reason to move.
We camped all around England and I loved every moment of it. When I met Tony he went on and on about camping, so I priced up everything we would need and gave him the list.
He was horrified! He was joking! He thought I was such a girl in my high heeled shoes and full make up, every hair in place, that I’d run screaming at the very idea. Boy did I win that one…but I’m still disappointed that Mr Hotel Room didn’t want a tent.
He looked at me and said:
“You went camping”?
“Yes many times.”
“In all weathers?”
“Yes, sometimes in the same day, this is England after all.”
“But you didn’t even have a pair of jeans or trainers when we met!”
“Darling, I did it in stiletto heels and full make up!”
Yes I used to stride around a grassy campsite in 3” heels, and no tent was going to make me lower my standards! No real woman would allow that!
Would I do it now, probably not, but I do have a fancy for one of those mobile holiday homes!
I will be in leggings and trainers though. The shoes of today are nowhere near glamorous enough for me. , and my standards have slipped into comfort.
Best Love
