Tent testing

It’s been almost 7 years since we’ve been camping (the tent was in my in-laws loft while we were in Cyprus) so we thought we’d better see what condition it’s in before we go camping again. The perfect opportunity arose when we were looking after our friends boys while they were making a flying trip to Holland to sort out their house. They have a nice big garden that our tent would fit in easily and fortunately it was surprisingly easy to put up again after all these years. The girls loved it and wanted to sleep there, even though we weren’t prepared for sleeping out. So Paul slept out with the girls and I stayed inside with the boys. Kirsty woke at 1am feeling cold so in trooped the campers, Maisie was still half asleep and walked straight into the French doors, she was still so sleepy that she didn’t even notice.
