Packing for a week of scout camp. This year for the first time we’re all going. Eric as a scout leader, Ingrid and Adrian as scouts of course, and me as a cook again. We’ve had to buy more sleeping bags and another mattress to make sure everyone has proper gear.

For the last few years I’ve bought more and more packing bugs every time we travel, because I’ve gradually come to prefer these to the “traditional” method (i.e. what I learned from my mum) of packing in plastic bags, and probably also because the children and their clothes grow in size. But now I think we finally might have enough.
