‘My friend and I decided to organise a glamping weekend on Osea Island to have a proper good catch up after lockdown, and we feel like we’re in heaven.
‘The weather is so nice, there’s beautiful beaches (with hardly anyone on them), amazing food, and the island feels like a movie set.
Referring to her adorable pooch, Ashley went on: ‘It’s Snoop’s first glamping experience and he’s been swimming in the sea and can’t believe we live in a field now!
‘I guess lockdown would never have made me look closer to home for these kind of experiences. Next time I might just pack a little more practically.’
