New Forest Camping – August 2010

Albeit this post is rather late – I went camping in the New Forest at the beginning of August. Second time camping and first full length camping trip (one whole week!) I survived and me and my friend had a very good time.

We stayed at the Roundhill Campsite – good value, nice location, easy access to everywhere really.

We will definitely be camping again!

I don’t always want the Jaguar.

Continuing from my post, dated January 10th 2010 (http://frantik-web.co.uk/blog/?p=315)

I believe I am growing old, I am listening to Radio 2 driving to and from work, and I have decided that there is too much choice when it comes to buying a damn mobile phone.

Since the release of the iPhone every phone needs look like or act like an iPhone with a touchscreen and smartphone-esque features without being a smartphone, and also I don’t want to have something that costs four hundred pounds all the time.

If I wanted a camera I would buy a camera, not want to have a phone with a 12Mpx camera, or GPS. The iPhone is nice, but it costs to have it.

Today, I put my SIM card in a battered up Nokia I found in Lost Property – the battery still held a charge and the phone then rang when I called my number. Simple!

Self respect, what happened to that?

I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.  ~Frederick Douglass

In these busy times, many people seem to have forgotten the meaning of ‘self respect’ – odd isn’t it.

I am a big hypocrite, but we all learn from our mistakes, and I intend to better myself.

It doesn’t take a lot but I aim to be true to myself and look after what I’ve been given.
