campfire – Ling's Meadow Camping

A fuss over firelighters

We seem to spend an awful lot of time pondering over the best ways to light a campfire. I am not sure that we have cracked it yet either, but there will be plenty of time this year to continue the experiment. In our early days we used traditional (bought at the local garage at the last minute) kerosene soaked blocks but as reliable as they are it pained me every time I lit one.

The meadow in May

A lot of the photos of the meadow that we have from last year are from late June until we closed at the end of September. At this time the grass is high and everything has a slightly wild and overgrown feel. I love sunny Suffolk in the summer for its hazy days and the constant sound of bees buzzing in the background.

Oh my word it is wintry out there today! I was just getting used to the ray of sunshine that was lulling us into a false sense of security and now it has all changed again. Never mind, while we are waiting for the sun to reappear, I have a found an image of our campsite from the summer to remind us of better days to come. If you stare at it for long enough you almost start to feel a warm glow.

I can’t believe it has been a month since I last updated the blog! So much has happened in that time that it feels like a year ago. We have been flat out on the campsite, meeting loads of lovely new campers and glampers, testing all the home-made eco technology and making adjustments here and there. Now things are beginning to wind down for the end of the season and the beautiful summer days…
