What started as a relaxing getaway quickly turned into a series of disasters: a heatwave, sunburn, locked car keys, an unexpected £100 locksmith bill, a very nosey campsite neighbour, and plenty of family chaos along the way. We also chat about village life in the UK, friendly communities, parenting moments, camping with kids, and a proud moment for our daughter at school. Hosted on Acast.
