One of my favourite child...Shrewsbury is wonderful! One of my favourite childhood camping experiences was had in Shrewsbury; there were no showers on the site and we all had to wash from a billycan. <br /><br />Our field had big cow pats in it, which all the under-10s (3 of us at that point - Thad wasn't yet born) found hilarious. Also, me and Ned discovered an electric fence, which we couldn't see the point of until the charge running through it sent us flying 2m backwards, landing on our bums. And best of all, we climbed The Wrekin which is a marvellous mountain in Shropshire.<br />It rained the whole time we were there, and there were no other tents in the field where we camped.<br /><br />Your outing sounds much more civilised; my Mother was slightly traumatised by primitive camp site facilities/cow-dung/electronic fence/tough mountaineering exploits but perhaps she could be tempted back with the lure of all those nice tea and cakes you mention!<br /><br />So glad you had a lovely time, Happy Easter xFelicity Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17914100900983932997noreply@blogger.com
