Tents

It's nearly August. Frightening.

Went for an agonising run. I really don't know how I am going to do this half marathon, especially as we seem to be dining on belly pork at every opportunity. Will have to take it easy on the food in France. Maybe take my trainers.

The latest thing here is tents. We plan to get one and to use it, pitching it somewhere in France on our long drive back at the end of our holiday. We haven't camped before and it could be a disaster. On the other hand, we could end up loving it. All I ask for is a good toilet block and showers.

A trip to Halfords and countless camping websites has made us tent experts overnight but the crunch comes tomorrow. We set off to buy one.
