It’s one am and there are nine children in a tent at the bottom of our garden. Lola, Neve,  Teo, Louis, Natalie, Isla, Tilly, Rosie, Eleanor.  They watched The Gods Must be Crazy in the garden. Barbie first. Then to bed in the tent.  They’re still chatting away now. Laughing; torching; telling horror stories and jokes. We’re in our bed, listening to them through the window. Going to watch a Grimm now — see you after. Or not.
