M & D decided to take a holiday at the weekend and despite the weather decided that we would meet up with some friends down in the midlands.
D took part in the Help for Heroes 4x4 European Rally back in 2010 and this was a reunion weekend and a get to know the newbies ready for this year's rally in June...
M knew there would be plenty of dog friends so I was allowed to pack my bag and join them!
What they didnt tell me was we were camping!! They had planned to go down on Good Friday and camp till Easter Monday but with all the snow, cold weather and the lack of a 4x4 they changed their plans - we travelled down first thing on Saturday getting to the campsite for lunch and a snow storm....
They put the tent up - its a new one and I now have to sleep with M & D not on my own...
and then we spent some time investigating the site - some others arrived a little later and some pooches for me to play with... I also managed to find the pond! M was not impressed..
Over night it got REALLY cold - M had taken both my beds so I had lots of layers under me and she popped my coat on over night and I was still cold so I ended up snuggling with M in her sleeping bag!
I've heard whisperings that they might buy me my own sleeping bag for next time but then how many times is it going to get down to -9oC whilst we're camping!!

That looks like a great tent. Hope you enjoyed yourself, even though it was cold. We are still getting the odd bit of snow faling from the sky but it's not settling on the ground. Weatherman says it's gonna get warmer next week.
