Compo 10,328 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Well, the tent is now up in the garden and I am all ready for my annual New Year's Eve under canvass. It is blowing quite hard out there but it is not too cold. Last year the tent was frozen by midnight - here's hoping that it doesn't happen this year 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 It is something of a tradition with me. Ever since I lived in Africa iin the 1980s I have spent the New Year's eve in a tent somewhere. I have occasionally missed but by-and-large New Year's Eve means camping for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,514 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 What a lovely idea Compo ........ mind you, I wouldn't want to do it, certainly not in the North of Scotland on NYE. Have a good night, I hope it's not too cold for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Can't you pitch the tent in the living room, be a lot warmer, then you can pretend you're back in Africa. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 #4 You could set up the tent in the lounge or somewhere else in the house the loo , more important the fridge with the BEER will be near at hand And you wont get cold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
