I didn't know him personally, but as the legend goes, it was Gandhi who once said 'there is more to life than simply increasing its speed'.
As we mourn the last night of our long and extremely extended summer camping trip, sitting on the hilltop at the end of the campsite that has come to feel so much like home, watching the sun as it begins to set and truly appreciating the peacefulness and slow pace of life here, we celebrate the good times, laughing together remembering the moments that will bring us so many lasting memories for years to come.
I guess this is what Gandhi was talking about. Four friends sitting together on a hilltop, simply appreciating life for what it is.
A good time camping with great friends. It's a shame that this one has come to an end. We raise our glasses of a rather strong but delicious, locally made elderflower champagne, make a toast and take a drink to the next ones.
