Packing is vital,
As is good gear.
A yellow tent:
colour is key.
Room for three - you, me, plus stuff.
Mess tins to eat from,
A stowaway stove.
Sleeping bags that zip together,
practical love.
A First Aid Kit for minor injuries,
A collapsible water carrier.
Anoraks for light rain;
Geek is chic.
Tickets to Paris:
CHECK
Montpelier and beyond.
A super-fast train sends us on our way.
Riverside campsite: ducks as nearest neighbours.
Pitch in a shady spot on sun-baked ground.
Read a lot, eat a lot, watch the stove boil.
Several hours wait for a cup of tea.
Slow food, angry burn.
Never ending sunshine; river swims and paddles.
Read some more.
Bike rides in silence.
Canoe with joy.
Snooze in the afternoon.
Early to bed.
Wake early,
with a smile.
