Welcome back Adam.
Sorry about your wrecked plans but I'll bet the wife still appreciated your romantic intent.
Well I don't know about that Ed - its a bit of a disappointment having to spend the night in a tent when you were expecting a posh hotel.

I wheel that one out every year when I'm sat in a teepee with the kids! None of them get it though!
Good old Tommy Cooper!

I'll take a night in a tent with someone I love ANYTIME.
I'm sure it would even be more memorable, too.

Bertha is in a deep "funk" today. Looking out into space. But the other three torts are great. And the new three are also good. They eat well, but they are very light in weight.
I think poor Bertha's whole system is in shock, unsurprisingly with all she's been through.
I'm sure the new one's will soon get heavier.
Do you weigh them to keep a check on their progress?

Don't think the weather helped! The odd night or two listening to the rain on the tent - lovely - but more than 3 nights is like water torture!
Was it a camping trip?
That would be more romantic than being homeless for example...

Yeah we used to go to the Ogwen Valley in North Wales to do a bit of walking and rock climbing (I only did easy climbs - like big rocks) Usually just for weekends and if we weren't in a tent we were in a barn; the lack of facilities in a big field didn't seem so important then - but a whole week in unpredictable Welsh weather drove us to breaking point! I didn't quite get to the stage where I cut through his ropes though! But we were at the end of our tether!
