My oldest is a girl and (@ that orkwardage! ) 12! Then comes my son who is 8 and has ADHD and then there is my baby who is 16mths and quite happy with going to the allotment and getting dirty or playing in her travel cot with her babies. We have done alot of camping in the past (not for a few years, my husband has muscle probles and can`t manage it for now.) And we could go away for 2 weeks without taking anything modern, but i would let them use things on site. and we never had a problem then. Sorry seedsforsuccess but i think my son is to old and my little one would only go on it if it came in pink! I am giving them there own seed beds, but they have been shareing mine and lose interest, but maybe if it is just theirs it might work.Well do sewer rat for teaching your daughter all the names of the plants! Can you teach me next. Ha ha.
