An ode to my wife

Teign-e-ver Clapper BridgeKeri was not impressed with our first honeymoon, camping in the lake district, to say it was wet, would not truly conjure up the experience.
We arrived to a full campsite, on a heavily undulating & bolder ridden campsite, really nice.Keri & John Teign-e-ver Clapper Bridge
There was a clear pitch in the the centre of the campsite, like a billiard board, I quickly grabbed it, Keri was not convinced, why was no one else camping there, I assured her as the rugged outdoor type I am, that this because some had just vacated the best pitch on the site, & we needed to grab it quick.
We had a lovely nights sleep, listening to the rain on the outside of the tent, so relaxing, when we woke, we found our air bed floating in 2" of water, all our clothes off the side of the mattress & the duvet slowly wicking up the water, the rain had not subsided, we were rather damp & providing the entertainment for the campsite.....
I did offer to take her to a luxury hotel in Banff or somewhere similar, but she wants me to take her motorcaravaning up the Western isles of Scotland, sounds good to me, so we will be heading off up North on Sunday, hopefully without midges & the Scottish summer rain....
Can't wait.
