Camping with the pups and the RAF

We took the dogs away in the campervan this week for the first time and before you start thinking that we have completely lost our marbles I should add that it was only for one night.

We weren't sure if they would settle for the night or even if we would all fit in but we needn't have worried. The dogs slept slept better in the van than they do at home and apart from making sure that we didn't fall over them when we got out of bed, there was plenty (?) of room for us all.

The only problem we had was that Bella got travel sick every time we moved - the poor thing spent every journey lying there looking very miserable -and I spent many a happy hour trying to clean doggy vom out of the carpet every time we stopped.

But apart from that we had a great time and the weather on Angelsea was very kind to us, sunny and cold. We stayed on a farm just outside Rhosneiger and had a brilliant view of a snow capped Snowdonia in the distance. The air was clean, the fields were green and lush, the lambs were gamboling about with abandon and the peace was continually shattered by the noise of the RAF flying in and out of Valley - brilliant - it was like having the best seats in the house for our very own private air show - Dave was in his element!
