No rain today
It is not raining this morning so it is camp coffee, outside, whilst reading my book and waiting for the boys to wake up.

Morning Coffee
There is light rain this morning – so the tent is now filled with the smell of fresh coffee.
Croissants, strawberry jam and fresh coffee for breakfast.
Camping food packed
As I am taking the MX-5 to Scotland this is only half a bag of food, otherwise it will not fit in the boot!

Nalgene containers – Camping and Backpacking
I am off to Scotland next weekend for two weeks and today I have been filling my Nalgene bottles and pots with spices, herbs, ground coffee, milk powder, corn flour, instant chai tea, olive oil, soy sauce and whisky – enough for one. Doing this saves weight and space in my packing. It is too easy to just fill the boot of my car when going off on my own to time share.

Spice box for camping
I bought this Light My Fire spice box in the summer in Scotland, but I only found it again this morning when I went to sort out my camping food tin.
The spice pot was in in a sale box for a pound as the packaging had been lost. There are markings on two of the sections – “S” and “P” but as I use salt and pepper packets from cafes I have put sumac, in the “S”, smoked paprika in the “P” and garam masala in the third. All of these spices are very useful when I am camping or backpacking as they are “shake over” rather than “cook in” spices so I can easily jazz up my food.

Fresh coffee and homemade blackberry jam – whilst still in my warm sleeping bag.

Camp tea
Last week the BBC weather forecast was predicting strong winds for this weekend – yesterday there was a breeze when we put the tents up. By the time we went to bed it was absolutely still. The same this morning my tent is not moving at all – no wind. It made it very easy to make my early morning tea. Unlike last year.
