The Cheeky Boi's Team have 4 meets a year, in which they compete against other teams for cups and awards, its really good for them to just have some fun and laughs.
The evenings are good food and drinks, chats around the campfire. There was myself, hubstar, mum in law, father in law, sis in law to be and her partner, his bro - we then meet up with the Jock's - not to offend anyone this is just what they like us to call them!! The jocks are three men who are great friends of hubstar and his family, supporting them through tough times etc etc!! each of the three are different and all good hearted and I am thankful that they helped my lovely hubby overcome his depression, suffered before our actually meeting.
This meet brings about a great group of people who have fantastic characters, and there are major laughs to be had, and ages vary greatly with a good mix all round. I have mostly stayed away from the alcohol this time as I like to limit my intake due to my health, but I also have not been to one since I was officially diagnosed with ME. We arrived Friday at 4pm after 8 hours of travelling, we set up the caravan and its awning, our changing tent, mine and hubstar's sleeping tent... cooked food and joined in at the camp fire.
I went to bed early, but they all partied hard with other teams wow the noise was loud, lots of merriment and jollies, but I was not bothered it was nice to lay down, but was rather chilly that first night even with thermals on !! man do I sound old and boring just now!! but I tweaked the blankets from then all on was cool. Saturday was boiling and I had a cider some sunbathing, good food water, naps, toilet tantrums, shower with LUSH, and good chats with everyone then stayed up late and joined in the banter but with out further alcohol - seriously I don't need it to be mad I already just am!!
Same for Sunday apart from being woke up at 4.30 by a chorus of Mustang Sally outside the tent - then it died down again and I fell back to sleep.
There is something very beautiful and spiritual about Cumbria and we are based within a Quarry that has rocks and greenery so pretty - the Sky has no light pollution and is an amazing site in which you can see all the star's and their constellations, satelites, shooting stars. You here nature at night and have fresh air all around you, you sleep with the dark and you rise with the light its back to nature at its best and that part of Glamping there I love - Why do I call it Glamping well I can still be me with my GHD's, fake tan and makeup - thanks to the caravan and Geni!! mum in law had a fright when sis in laws black lab broke in and stole the Biscuits she could only see the whites of its eyes it was hilarious.
My body likes to be away from all the electric energy at home, and fresh air really helps me clear my head and lungs. I feel quite normal when camping not many symptoms what so ever I hope when we have the caravan we can pop away for little breaks that would be fab.... had some issues up returning to normal life, with stress from people, money and back to the sale of property cant wait for all this to be cleaned up now x
