This weekend we camped with friends in near by Bradford on Avon.
A small site surrounded by farm land, sheep and dry stone walls.
Saturday was glorious, sunshine by the bucket load. We relaxed, ate a feast of salads and BBQ'd meat.
The children ran wild, formed friendships... felt out of friendships, played star wars and rolled around in tents.
In the evening the heavens opened.
It felt like a tropical monsoon... the rain was deafening on the tents.
Woke to a soggy tent...and a soggy mood (well me, bloomin rain!).
Went for a walk to find the most abundant (wild) Cherry Plum tree I have ever seen. I could have filled the bowl 20 times over.
Might have to go back!
After lunch we wandered down the River Avon in the rain, marvelling at the narrow boats and watching locks fill and empty with water.
