Woohoo! Much better than I could have hoped for. Glad you had fun!
yeah we got realllyy lucky because you never know what kind of weather you'll get for camping in mid-September lol. I was keeping an eye out and that's how I made the judgement call to go or stay (I thought that worse case scenario, I'd just drive home as we were only 2 hours away and Rik could get a lift back with our friends on Sunday). The dog also did realllllyyy well, especially given she had no other dog friends with her and there were donkeys and cows EVERYWHERE. I know New Forest is big for ponies, but I saw barely any ponies and a f*ck ton of donkeys and cows!!
We went to the beach for an hour on Sunday before going home and the sea breeze just made me feel so calm and happy

That would probably qualify for a LMH in itself.
