....and so to bed......:comfort

At about 4 a.m I awoke with the need to get rid of a few pints of Hook Norton's finest.
I struggled to get out of the tent, as the porch area seemed to have collapsed.
Once I'd powdered my nose and found a torch it became apparrent the my tarp had collapsed and all of the tent and tarp pegs were pulled out :duno

After re-erecting my dwellings I turned my torch towards Snoopy. His head was sticking out of his divvy-bag and his cherubic face was upturned to the night sky, his purdy-little mouth open.........

I felt guilty about the "tea-bagging" until I found out the little rascal was responsible for the assault on my tent......:D

He looked a bit rough in the morning....
