One of Jack’s Xmas presents this year was a tent. I pitched it in the garden for him and he quickly roped Liz into camping out with him. We put his inflatable mattress in it and a camp bed for the missus and - wouldn’t you know it - it rained. Not hard enough to ruin things completely, but it still made the experience a little bit damp. Jack enjoyed it so much that he invited his friends Charlie and Chloe over to camp out. We gave them a house phone and showed them how to make an internal call. We checked on them at 10pm and they were spark out. Unfortunately for the neighbours, they were up again at 6am though and charging round the garden with toy guns shooting each other.
