William Sinclair Like you, my son and myself used to go camping and hillwalking frequently but, being in Scotland, a hammock wasn't really a viable choice 'cos we'd get rained on a lot! We used a two-man tent which was reasonably light and easy to pitch. My camping days are...

Christmas there were herds of people in the house. I’m not a peopley person but I couldn’t throw them out seeing how they were all the fruit of my loins and their families. A game was being played that I didn’t realise I was part...

Well, he might be! Why? Because our grandson, Rory (8), has devised a cunning plan to catch Santa in the act. He has set up his mobile phone in the lounge and has trained it on the seat which, for the past few years, has been...

There was a time we would go hunting for Christmas cards and prepare a list of those who would receive these cards. That was stopped and it was a digital card that was thoughtfully created by me and with just one click it would go...

William Sinclair @DaddyEvil He has a couple of years yet. His sister, who has just turned 13, has only recently realised that Santa isn't real - possibly because she is now at High School where, as you say, other kids would have explained to her about the non-existence of...

Do you have family over for Christmas Dinner? Many people do. But surely an invite to dinner shouldn't come with a price tag! Well, apparently, there are some people who charge their family a fee to attend their home and tuck into...
