There went nothing :~(

This will be brief, because I don’t really feel like writing about it (or doing anything else really).

We got to HESFES on Friday, as planned. Wasn’t very impressed with the field for this year’s camping - toilet-block was not refurbished as planned, field could not be described as “perfectly flat” by anyone - dunno what Andy was looking at, but it certainly wasn’t the top field. But anyway, we got the tent up, and got the stuff in, and the boys ran about a bit and we had our first meal on-site. And when it got dark, headed off to bed.

Then we spent the night trying not to slide down the hill. As a result, my hips and pelvis went into spasm, and I was in horrible pain, not able to take a step. Not even able to use the toilet (sorry if tmi).

So we ended up leaving :-(

I’m devastated. It took us five years to get to HESFES and we didn’t even manage to stay until it started. The boys hate me, and I can’t say I blame them. Barney has tried to be brave (”I know you must have been really desperate”) but he’s still been in tears - as have I, for most of the last few days. Today is the first day I’ve been able to even sit up in bed without pain. I can’t even begin to describe how disappointed I am :-(

Really sorry it ended up that way, Deb - we were all disappointed not to have even met you. Can only imagine how disappointed you and the boys must have been. :(

Oh Deb, how terrible!
I’ve been thinking about you and the boys and hoping you’re all having a blast. I wanted to see if you’d blogged about all the fun and I read this instead. I’m sorry.

Deb, I was gutted to miss you too. I can’t imagine how upset you all must be after all the waiting and anticipation let alone the travelling and expense. Hoping the pain eases and the rest of your pregnancy is smooth.
