Summer Memories

Before we had the children money was always a little short and when it came to the summer holidays we would usually have just enough money to pay for a few night's camping and some budget food. Even as a child I remember going on 'The Sun' newspaper holidays, these holidays always seemed to be the best. It never mattered about days out here and there it was more and the small things. 

My favourite holiday before the kiddies would have to be a trip to Wales. It took us four hours to get there and ended up putting a tent up in the dark. On the first night you could hear a nearby stream and the area was beautifully peaceful. When we woke up in the morning and climbed out of our tent we discovered that the camp site was surrounded by mountains the stream was also right by side our camp. 

The days were spent exploring the local mountains while in the evening we would listen to music and playing cards games or talk down by the stream. It's funny how the music even now reminds me of going on holiday and we still play the same songs when taking the children away. 

Our holiday summer time favourites are usually ones in the chart but the one that holds the most memories for us is Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff  'summer time', Maybe not every bodies favourite but Cumbrian-Cottages.co.uk have put together this great playlist ahead of the summer holiday which may contain yours.
