Camping in Devon

When we came back from the retreat, there were still a few more days left in the Easter holidays, so we went camping in Devon. Our campsite was very near Bantham Beach. So near that we went to the seaside every single day. There were rock pools and seaweed and all kinds of shells, stones and glass from bottles lying on the sandy the beach. On one of the days of our stay, we went to The Secret Cove. The secret cove is a hidden part of the beach with clear blue water, like in the advertisments for Tunisia and Cyprus. There were also rocks that we could dive off, but we didn't go swimming because the water was too cold.

At our  campsite, near where our white bell tent was pitched, was a fire pit. We all collected firewood for us to burn, and toasted marshmallows and made s'mores. The s'mores were delicious, and so was the other food we had there.

We met up with some of my mum's friends a few times, because we don't get to see them very often. One of her friends has a little dog who chased a rabbit at our campsite from under a bush. Another has an African snail and a few stick insects. One baby stick insect escaped and she had to put it back its tank.

We arrived back home late at the end of the camping trip, and went straight to bed.
