Description During 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.

funny memoir of holidays in the tent and aboard and all the mishaps

A fun, enjoyable book, with relentless tales of bodily excretions! Hard to believe that all those things could happen to one family.

Possibly the funniest book I have ever read

A couple of years ago, I went to the launch of Emma Kennedy's first book; How To Bring Up Your Parents. I had a great time and got drunk with the stars of stage and screen. Emma was absolutely lovely and the book was very funny.However... last year I received an advance copy of her second book, The Tent, The Bucket and Me - an extremely funny book following Emma's family camping holidays in the 1970s.It's rare that I laugh out loud whilst reading but the first family holiday had me in stitches.

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!!

Very funny- I think that the author describes her experiences in such a way that you can imagine being on holiday with her. Brilliant!

I'm worried there might be something wrong with me. The majority of people, when speaking or writing about this book, describe it as laugh-out-loud. I'm afraid that, whilst I'll admit that some of the author's family escapades were amusing in places, I didn't exactly find them hilarious. I don't know if it's that some of the stuff I was being asked to chuckle at was a little puerile, although I'm not against being a bit immature occasionally. In all honesty I think it's that the book was
