DOE--> Duke Of Edinburgh
Just about the coolest thing I've done. Camped out at a farm with 20 other girls in my year and rode horses and made our own food for two days. The country air is fresh and crispier than a packet of crisps...because to be honest they're not crisp, they're crunchy, and you won't know a true crisp until you go the country and do nothing but breathe. We go out to the stables and see a mountain of trees in the background.
At night we cooked a packet of pasta stuff and since the sauce didn't thicken, it became a minestrone. Not bad. We made some hot chocolate and after tedious ''shiny shiny'' of pots we started our very own camp fire. What comes to mind??? Roasting Marshmallows. Actually more like burning marshmallows (which are even better). Watching the night sky come alive with thousands of twinkling stars, something only visible in a place without the light pollution of the city.
I rode two horses: pokey and pepper. PP. Pepper was a great horse (heheheh name of dog too) because it was also a training horse. Pokey was slightly hormonal. Listening to Owl City at night with Jo and melting with a happiness that can only be felt.
