#house-sitting

I soon found out they were either outrageously expensive, or they seemed only suitable for traditional families, or they were so cheap that I came home more knackered than when I'd left. My first attempt, camping with friends, was fine until I had to pack up the tent. Four hours of wrestling with it in the heat later, I hated camping. Next, the adventure holiday for single-parent families. The abseiling and caving were brilliant, but sleeping in a bunk bed ruined my back.

In a world where personal items are valued differently, lighting a 'luxury' candle can lead to unexpected conflict over what is considered respectful behavior in someone else’s space.
