Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger
Well, today marks the end of Robert’s first week of school (I know it’s Monday – he started on a Tuesday!) and I’m pleased to report he seems to be enjoying it MUCH more than he had previously been imagining. Having said that, he certainly *hasn’t* got used to getting ready for school in the…
