Hiking, trekking, walking and wild swimming are pursuits that make them happy, provided the wild swimming takes place between May and September, when the water isn’t too cold. They’ve never been fussed about fancy foreign holidays: it’s the simple life for them. A good old-fashioned, back-to-nature camping trip: just sling some Hunter wellies and Craghoppers fleeces into the Osprey rucksack and off they go. Well, provided the canvas is erected by someone else and contains mattresses, throws, cute little sheepskin rugs and some fairy lights. Tom’s back isn’t what it was and sleeping bags play havoc with Penny’s perimenopause.
