Camp Bestival - Ella Henderson added to the lineup

-
Camp Bestival. The plot thickens. I’m busy planning my costume and I vary from just a bit of a wild theme to a full out dinosaur/crocodile/reptile costume. So who knows, maybe I’ll end up doing some of each. A slightly wild look most days with a full on costume for Saturday…hmmm



The line up is really exciting this year, I was already thrilled that The Kaiser Chiefs were on the bill, I love all the theatre and circus stuff and it seems like almost each week new things are being added!

My Camp Bestival excitement meter is building. Latest to join the gang is extra info on the teen den, something my daughter didn’t get excited about last year, so I’m hoping I can get her to go this year – I think the Blogging talk would be great and might get her actively blogging again, though if Rob Da Bank and the crew could arrange a talk by Zoella I think they’d have to have crowd control! Ha!


 Also now on the line-up is the lovely Ella Henderson, she’s only 4 years older than my daughter! And is best known for her number one single Ghost. Her first album went to number one in the album charts too! She started out on the X factor, finishing 6th in 2012. It will be nice to sit on the warm grass and listen to some fresh British talent.


Last year we missed a few things that are Camp Bestival staples, so will be hoping to catch them again, while exploring some of the newer additions. See you there!

Festival Trolley - The best and the worst thing ever

-

I own a festival trolley. I don't even have the excuse that I have a toddler (or toddlers) that may need to rest their legs. I didn't buy it until DD was well past the toddler stage but it's a great investment...and I love my festival trolley. But I also hate festival trolleys. They are large and cumbersome and while once maybe 10% of families at family festivals had one, I think that it's now closer to 80% and not everyone seems aware of any trolley etiquette. I tend to see myself in 'trolley-mummy-mode' as one of the lucky ones, I have a built in sofa if I stop, somewhere to store all the stuff I need day to day, and at the start and end of a festival I can get my camping stuff to and from the car without too much effort, and without queueing for (or paying for) a hire trolley. So let's look at the positives and negatives of owning a festival trolley. And also let's think about the responsibility trolley use (either your own or a hired one) bring

Today on the blog, a beauty blogger gets down and dirty at Download festival and gives us the benefit of her experience. Much of her advice applies to all festivals, not just Download Camping isn’t my usual topic when it comes to writing blog features, instead opting for beauty, lifestyle and parenting features over on my blog, Tattooed Tealady , but today I’m quite looking forward to being able to share something different, and what better place than here! Today I’m going to run you through my Top 5 Tips for Camping at Download Festival , a metal festival held in the East Midlands at Donnington Park and the festival I have frequented the most over the past 8 years. First things first, plan where you’re going to camp. Of course, you can’t guarantee you’ll end up in the camp site you want, but Download Festival does have a handy map which shows all the campsites and the earlier you get there, the more likely you are to land the spot you want. There’s different areas for different

No Fridge Required

Maybe you are off to a festival, maybe you are a minimalist camper who doesn't use EHU , but either way there may be times you are away from home, away from the power to refrigerate things, but you are not quite rich enough to eat out for every meal. What options are open to you? As a camper that uses a cool box occasionally but never uses EHU I have a few ideas. Let's start with breakfast. On the first day you could splash out with a fry up of bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomato and potato. These things will keep for a day if you can keep them cool - but I tend to just bring enough for day one. Other things that you can pack for breakfast include lots of things that are individually packed, many bread based things go mouldy quickly in the moist summer heat inside a tent, so things that are packed singly are a good way to keep things fresh. The pound shop is a good source of camping food. My personal favourites are brioche , croissants , breakfast biscuits and cereal bars.
