Everybody likes to stay in hotels and guesthouses if they could and I'm no different, but when we go away on family holidays we like to camp. It brings us closer to nature and gives the kids a lot more freedom to roam. I love sitting in my camp chair by the fire with chops sizzling over the coals, a drink in my hand and chatting with my neighbour. Once its gets quiet you hear the night sounds all around and it feels like you've been transported to a whole different world. Its not a world where everybody feels comfortable, sleeping on blow-up mattresses in a tent, but its a world I love to experience a couple of times a year.
