User blog:Angel Emfrbl/So my "4 day" camping trip...

It turned into one night. Tuesday night to be precise. We worked at Sandrigham garden show from the moment we got there until we lost light every day. And only I had my tent set up, to hold our spot until Tuesday night. They called a taxis every day up to that point.

Didn't bother switching on when I got home since I was shattered and as I told my landlady, I just need the break anyway.

We had a barbecue on Tuesday evening at the campside and slept that night. I borrowed a sleeping bag that shad a seam loose that eventually split halfway through the night and left me freezing cold. Thank goodness I brought a pillow that could be converted to a blanket by pulling the cloth inside it out.

Wednesday we hung around for the judges, saw Prince Charles and his escort go by in a carriage (6 seconds, we waited and rushed back to our exhibited to see him and it was 6 seconds long ¬_¬). The judges gave us a silver award, not bad for our first garden show, our led designer was pleased with herself very much!

We didn't get much credit for our display... The person who funded it claimed all the credit. When we saw the show stuff on Tuesday it left everyone pissed off, we were labelled in there as "some unemployed individuals" instead of volunteers (as technically, two of us got employment out of this project and I'm both an unemployed and a employed person as I'm a career). ¬_¬

All in all, despite the negative things, there was a lot more good things and the silver award has set the standard for next year.

Every part of me aches today and yesturday it rained.... Instead of packing away today we all tried to do everything last night. I got stuck with a wheelbarrow of plants in a downpour.

All 7 of us were soaked through all layers of clothes and voted not to stay that night.

So yeah, a 4 day camping trip ended up only 1 night and us taxing every night else home, exhausted... I don't think we're very good at organizing camping trips. O_o
