The Call of the Mild

David over at Life’s Prologue (a darn good read if you’ve never visited) has been talking about the call of the wild and his family’s annual camping trip.

I wrote in the comments that I would prefer a few nights in 5 star luxury rather than sleeping under the stars. Unfortunately, as I pointed out, our budget doesn’t really run that far.

After that exchange I got a call yesterday afternoon (as I was trying to sleep off my sore throat) to tell me that I’d won 3rd prize in a competition I’d entered the day before at WA on Show.

The prize is 2 nights away at a local resort. I won’t say anymore at the moment. I want to see the paperwork. I know that ‘3rd prize’ is often their code for ‘buy something huge and we’ll throw in something samll for nothing’.

I think this one is for real and we could certainly do with it. I’ll tell you more once the letter arrives.
