Back to nature

What a day. After food with friends on Friday night, we all begged out by midnight. I think its a sign that we are all showing our ages, a combined age of 189 years excluding the kids but including the 3 friends. We slept and dreamt of our great plans for the next day.

Saturday, fueled by a breakfast croissants, brioche and pain au chocolat, scrambled egg and fruit juice we were ready to face a day of indecision, which we are good at on a Saturday.

Watching the sky for signs of rain I spent a little time rounding up all the bits of escaped tent from the corners of the house where it has been planning it's next move.

Once it was all contained restlessly in the boot of the car and the car was sporting its rather eye catching, but not too dressy new top box, the challenge has been to round up the family, which is still reading Harry Potter, sleeping or causing mischief.

Finally we have spent an evening taming the tent in the wilds of Dulwich, hence the reference to nature, which is fantastic, racing against the clock to beat the rain, the tent is straight forward to put up and spacious and fits back into its bag!

Oh and its easy to take down, perhaps more importantly Harry Potter has been finished.
