Ilustration As Books The Tent, the Bucket and Me
Growing up in the Seventies, we were on the brink of the modern age. But despite a brave new world of Casio hand-held calculators and digital watches, one thing remained the same: the family holiday. For the Seventies child, summer holidays didn't mean the joy of CentreParcs or the sophistication of a Tuscan villa. They meant being crammed into a car with Grandma and heading to the coast. With just a tent for a home and a bucket for the necessities, we would set off on new adventures each year stoically resolving to enjoy ourselves.For Emma Kennedy, and her mum and dad, disaster always came along for the ride no matter where they went. Whether it was swept away by a force ten gale on the Welsh coast or suffering copious amounts of food poisoning on a brave trip to the south of France, family holidays always
left them battered and bruised.
But they never gave up. Emma's memoir, The Tent, the Bucket and Me,
is a painfully funny reminder of just what it was like to spend your summer holidays cold, damp but with sand between your toes.

The Tent, the Bucket and Me I dont usually contemplate this writing my book review so early as Ive only managed to read the first three chapters! Seriously this book should come with a Health Warning: Do not attempt to wear mascara or any eye makeup whilst reading this story and ensure that you have ready to hand a constant supply of clean hankies (you will need these I promise) oh and should you suffer from a weak bladder (sorry to bring this up) I would strongly recommend you consider wearingI laughed until I could not breathe. I would have died laughing except that I wanted to finish the book.
Book Club book. The parents were so likeable and the details of the French campsites and Isle Of Wight trips were so vivid and charming that I really wished each holiday didn't end with someone being sick in a bucket or having explosive diarrhoea. Ah well.
The reviews on the cover said it was funny and I needed cheering up so I gave it a go. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt so it did the job. Makes my childhood camping trips look like stays on five star resorts!!
I loved this booked! It was just up my street. Simple, funny, captivating and a jolly good read! I actually listened to it narrated by the author which is always a treat in my mind. I read/listened to it on a recommendation. It rang so true. I myself am Welsh, born in the 1970s, spent my entire childhood until the age of 12 camping in either Wales, Cornwall or the Isle of Wight! This book was meant for me 😊 Ive actually stayed on the Praa Sands Campsite, been to Black Gang Chine which also
funny memoir of holidays in the tent and aboard and all the mishaps
Very funny- I think that the author describes her experiences in such a way that you can imagine being on holiday with her. Brilliant!
