Big Family Camping – the properly excellent Bahia 7 tent from Outwell
When LitteStuff tried out the Bahia 7 Tent. It used to be that the husband and I only ever had one question to answer for our holidays – where do we fancy taking the tent this time? We ALWAYS camped. And it made us happy to our bones. Once the children came along, the logistics got a bit harder. More than just a couple of duvets, cooking equipment and a few clothes bunged into a bag. But it wasn’t until I was pregnant with...

After a couple of minutes her daughter arrived,...

When those lovely people at Accor heard we were making a very lo-o-o-ng (11.5hr drive) road trip through France, they incredibly kindly offered to provide a stopover half way. Naturally I chose the spot in a very careful and scientific manner – I drew the map on Googlemaps, and plumped for wherever appeared to be halfway on the route… This meant that we were stopping in Bourges! Accor came back and said that the ibis...
