Last night, after a little concern over the smoke lingering in the forest, we soon found ourselves distracted. There were a million stars keeping us amused... too long in the city and you begin to forget that they are still there. It's so beautiful to live under the Milky Way.
And later again, much later indeed, I discover the dawn light gently seeping in under the edges of the tent and slowly prising my eyelids open.
Ah, the peace, the quiet and the cold! Pull on a fleece and hat, shoes and socks. Emerge.
This half hour is my favourite time in the campsite.
Nothing to do but mosey amongst the trees, think about putting some coffee on the stove and inhale all that bloody oxygen.
