Ah, there it is, sneaking up on us on the horizon: Christmas. I'm quite looking forward to it this year, as all I have to do is turn up, what with the menfolk in their pinnies being all festively domestic.
Another treat on the horizon is the Present. One BIG present to all the kids and all the grownups from Santa (not quite sure how he'll manage to carry it on his sleigh); an Intex swimming pool, one of these babies, perfect for getting absolutely soaking wet. It's collapsible, so it can be stored away in the winter and the best part about it? It costs peanuts compared a proper in-ground, committed for-the-rest-of-your-life type pool.
I am already envisaging lolling in it on my lilo with a cold cider in one hand after a day's slog in the garden.
Choice.
