Opps, another mistake.
Here is you new pitch...

Sorry about all that.

So... do you go camping much IRL?

That's okay...many ta's for finding me a new pitch (and chukka-tents are so easy to move!)
I do like camping in RL but as the years advance *sigh* I find a warmer climate is better...took a tent to the last Glastonbury festival but confess to also having booked a spot in the excellent nearby youth hostel to retreat to.

I find that camping is only as good at the venue. There's nothing wrong with the Peak District, but it's nothing on Lake Titicaca in Peru!

Ooh...I've never been to Peru! *tries to think of most exotic camping spot in travels* I did like sleeping under the stars in Swaziland

I've slept in as many exotic places you can think of.

I once slept rough in Brunei once for a week. I then went to the cool theme park in Brunei, which is totally free.

Have been to South Africa, and Egypt. I once had a tent on the hill facing a tea field in Java.

What a life.

...sounds great..so you didn't have to go far for a morning cuppa!

Actually...............I did

Java sounds like a good place to visit (lots of batik for sarongs)

Oh....I'll have to tell you now !!!

The tent was placed by the road on the hill. One day, I was making a cup of tea with leaves just picked, and two cyclers went past. One of them gave me the most strange look, as he saw somebody drinking tea at 7 o'clock in the morning, siluetted against the sunrise. I had my arms raised embracing the sun.

Anyway, after they went past, I heard one whisper to the other "...He must be British..." I still laugh now !!!!

I did once go wandering in a town in the middle of the jungle wearing only boxer's shorts, a fleece, and shoes (i.e. no socks) looking for orange juice and rum. We found both.

Lovely story! Well now you have to have the prize for the most exotic cup of morning tea...picked straight from the plant, no less And I bet those cyclists have never forgotten you

Bob...you conjure up such a vivid mental picture!
I'm glad you found your orange and rum!

*pins note to flap of chukka-tent*
"gone rambling (Nov. 19th)...back in a week...make yourself a cuppa and leave a note if you see the friendly hedgehog who was looking for some where to hibernate when I pitched my tent Elf"

I saw that hedgehog you mentioned and kicked 'im right out. He 'aint coming back any time soon.
Oh, you wanted him to stay. Hedgehog! Lovely hedgehog!?
*he wanders off, in hand, looking sheepish and shouting in a sort of pleading way*

Bob...thought you'd like to know the hedgehog has returned!

hey, elfrida, we are neighbors now, how cool
have a cup of , strider brewed it himself you know. i was wondering if you had any materials left over from the construction of your shelter. if so, could you drop by my tree and drop them off, there is also more tea where that came from(mars that is) but there is also some at my tree. hope you drop by.

Post-Christmas party at my pitch (1 1/2), starting now!

if anyone is still at this pitch, visit THE SHEEP REVOLT at my PS(not my room)
to help with the cause.
thank you
