How our accidental pets ended up stealing our hearts

Every August, my family, by which I mean the family into which I was born, my sisters and my parents, our husbands and our children, decamp to Austria.

When planning our summers, before we think about holidays, about booking flights or accepting invitations to stay with friends, there is one date we work around, whatever options we have. It’s a date that is immutably fixed in our diary, a event that cannot be missed, whatever else is going on. It’s Pony Club Camp.

I am sitting in one of my favourite spots in the world, in the lap of luxury, without a care in the world, everything I could possibly want at my fingertips and best of all, I’ve not showered for a week.
