The wine, supplied by Laithwaites, will be dispatched soon after the deposit is paid, and readers can choose red, white or a mixed case. Acorn Adventure specialises in family breaks during school holidays in France, Italy and the UK. The accommodation is organised into tented “villages”, so children soon make friends and adults can socialise easily, too.

All activities, which range from a two-day canoe descent of the Ard che river valley gorge or white-water rafting on the Dora Balea river in Italy, to windsurfing, sailing, climbing, abseiling, caving and archery, are included. For those who don’t want to drive abroad, eight-night coach holidays in the Ardeche, at Narbonne or Villeneuve, are pound;439 per person, based on three or four people travelling together, just pound;20 per person more than for those driving themselves. Or choose a two-centre, 10-night holiday, spending five nights at Labeaume in the Ardeche and five in Villeneuve or Narbonne for pound;439 per person self-drive or pound;449 by coach.
