We are collecting three grandchildren from “up country” on Sunday to come and stay for a couple of weeks. We live in Cornwall, so beach trips are a favourite thing to do together. We ALWAYS have trouble packing away the bl**dy pop-up tent!! It goes up with no problem! So we are currently in the back garden practicing (as we haven’t used it since last August - and we’ve both had birthdays since then 😬) I have left DH to it as he doesn’t like it when I laugh at our efforts 🤣 Anyone else know our pain?

Those folding sort of things like laundry baskets are banned in my house! Much better for my nerves and temper!

I love pop up tents... and find them easy.
I don't know what I do but it seems natural.

My lovely husband is the one that really provides the entertainment for the family though. grin
