A blog about being a pretty average dad… and stuff (formerly Henry's Blog)
After nearly 10 years of faithful service, our trusty Zenobia 6 tent looks like it might be on its way out. On our most recent trip, not only did we find quite a bit of rain coming through the roof at night, we’ve also got a couple of tent poles that needed drastic running repairs….
The lovely people at Money-saving site QuidCo are conducting some interesting research relating to why we love our local high street.
