I have recruited two partners in crime in a bid to escape the camp. We started work on Tom, Dick and Harry before most of the residents were awake; our plan to hit Ainsdale beach by 10am. It was slow progress to start with as neither of my recruits wore long trousers making it difficult to dispose of the soil from the tunnels without drawing attention to ourselves. At one point a chance encounter with Nanny outside the adventure playground almost foiled our plan but we distracted her with an errand for milk and plasters - after all Nanny's love to feel needed and need to feel wanted.
Work continued and soon we were free. Ainsdale beach was ours. We built sand volcanoes, drew names in the sand, jumped and ran around in the fresh air. Watched the lifeguards set up for the day, the dog walkers; a few other families had followed our lead making use of Tom, Dick and Harry and were now liberated for a short while.
But all good things must come to an end. We were back in the camp by lunchtime.
