๐Ÿ’ฌ It got us wondering... We think adding a little shoot like this on to our Dog-Friendly B&B stay with us would be the perfect momento! What do you think? ๐Ÿ‘€ Would you add something like this to your stay? ๐Ÿ‘‡
Why have a "Winter Camp"? The inspiration behind C Why have a "Winter Camp"? The inspiration behind Camp Hemsworth ๐Ÿ‘‡

Full transparency, we cannot claim credit for this idea. This request came from the ladies who attended our very first summer camp with us! However the more we thought about it, and the more experience we gained by hosting our second Camp Hemsworth this past summer made us realise what an incredible weekend it could be.

I have memories of winter school holiday Brownie and Girl Guide camps at Craycroft in Christchurch where you wrapped damper around a stick to toast over the camp fire, and tried cozy crafts in the main hall and every night finished with a weak milo that was always too hot. 

I also know that while the estate is beautiful in spring and summer, there's something deeply uplifting about a daytime cozy fire, and making the effort to do something different when all you want to do is hibernate. 

Plus, my love language is cooking, and there's only so many hearty french dishes you can feed people in the summer (boeuf bourguignon really only is well received in the heart of winter when the smells have been wafting down the hallway for hours).

I imagine this winter-themed "Camp" with cozy suites topped with thick blankets, a crisp walk in the frost, mulled wine and movies in the drawing room and perhaps that ever-classic camp fire if weather permits will help rewire some of the winter brain chemistry that can be really challenging to combat.

If this calls to you, we'd love to see you at Camp Hemsworth. We still have a few spots left, and our payment plan ends in June. Let us know if you'd like the details ๐Ÿ‘‡

With love,
Rebecca
