      We went for breakfast at Toast with my Mum this morning, which was a good idea because we had a big day camping ahead of us.

    In preparation I baked some s'more brownies topped with toasted marshmallows and biscoff cookies which had caramelised into a biscuity toffee layer.

      We met up with Louise, Jamie, Harriet & Adam at the Cramond Inn and had a drink before making our way across to the island.

      Some nice old men told us there was an illegal techno party happening on the island that night and we giggled, thinking they were joking because raves couldn't possibly still be happening this long after the 90's.

      We realised they weren't joking by the time we made it to the island and could hear the beat of techno echoing through the trees.

      We set up camp on the other side of the island, away from the thumping music in a sheltered wooded area with a slight view of the sea and Forth Bridges.

      After setting up our tents, we hunted for firewood and started a fire. I'd baked a picnic loaf stuffed with Quorn sausages and mushrooms and we cooked potatoes in the fire and Quorn burgers on the BBQ.

      It was so cosy next to the fire and we stayed up until it started raining at midnight. Our tent was really comfy.
