'It's a Wrap'

We had a place at Sorrento and everyday we'd take the kids to the beach.

We bought a few large black plastic rubbish bins,

and we'd half-fill these with cold water in the morning.....

and leave them smack in the middle of the yard...in the full sun.

We'd leave the hose out in the sun too.... snaking over the hot grass.

Then off we'd go to the beach for the day.

When we returned, instead of a shower, we'd put the kids

in  the rubbish bins!

The water was hot by now....warmed by the sun.

They loved it....squealing with delight they'd sink down up to their necks.....

Sand off! Job done!

then we'd bundle them all into towels, and take them inside for tea.
