Restaurants, takeaway, mothers' cooking - it is too easy to take things for granted. But a few months alone without any 'conveniences' is a great wakeup call. A simple camp fire, bunch of friends, no guitar equals no com-ba-yaa, good-honest conversations, a selection of meats and vegetables, empty stomachs and a starry night is a great way to forget about worries and realise just how lucky you are.
