Andrew Collins sits in for Nemone and talks to author and actress Emma Kennedy about her book The Tent, the Bucket and Me.

Emma Kennedy joins Andrew Collins to talk about her book "The Tent, The Bucket and Me". This is the bestselling, stunning narrative non-fiction debut from award winning writer and actress Emma Kennedy, a hilarious Seventies childhood memoir of wet, windy and utterly disastrous family camping trips.
There was a time when package holidays and shuttle buses were merely glints in the holidaymaker's eye; a time when going on holiday meant packing up the tent, squeezing the deck chairs and sleeping bags into the boot of a small, mechanically unsound car and setting off around the United Kingdom in search of serene surroundings and well-deserved relaxation. 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. But despite a brave new world of Casio hand-held calculators and digital watches, the Kennedy family always seemed to bear the brunt of the holiday Gods' cruel sense of humour.
