Cosy Camping

We were slightly worried when Mel told us we were going camping. Normally, we love it, being outside in the fresh air with nature on out doorstep, or more like at the end of our noses! But its February... and its freeeeeeezing. But hey, its the Drift & Finn duo and we love an excuse for an adventure away from home.

 But we shouldn't have been worried. We turned up at the coolest camping spot ever. A snug little Mongolian yurt was already set up for us, with a log burner stove inside... so cosy for our cold little paws! A even better were the little four-legged friends that came to wake us up in the morning. 2 Wire-haired Jack Russells, signalled it was time to rise & shine after a snug nights sleep in front of the stove. When we went out to play, we were greeted by another 2, a old Border Collie and a new pup of a Springer Spaniel called Spock, who ran a way squeeling and obviously wasn't so brave around dogs he didn't know. All we did was look at him... from then he only poked his head gingerly around the corner of the hedge and watched our games with the others from afar. Poor wee pup, if only he realised how much fun we are!

All through our stay we watched Red Kites gracefully soaring in the thermals, catching the wind, then spiraling & tumbling in mock air battles with each other.
