Did We Really Do That?

During the school summer holidays one year Tim and I camped out in a friends garden (the friend with the motorbikes).

We pitched out tents at the bottom of their big garden and built ourselves a large camp fire. We decided that we would cook all of our food on the fire as well as using it to keep warm through the night.

As the night was clear and dry we decided to sleep next to the fire rather than in the tents. After the customary sitting around until the early hours of the morning the three of us finally fell asleep.

I had probably been a sleep for a few hours when I was woken by this shouting (more like screaming!). As I came out of my deep sleep and sat up all I could see was two balls of fire bouncing down the garden and I could hear someone in pain. As I went to investigate the next thing I heard was a splash.

Turns out that Tim had fallen asleep with his feet so close to the camp fire that his boot eventually caught light! As he got up and danced around the garden in pain he did the sensible thing and jumped in the pond!

Another classic!!!
