Nothing will ruin my camping trip… I hate couples having noisy sex & get revenge in a sly way, my grandkids cringe
GOING on holiday with grandparents is a treat many children look forward to, knowing they'll be spoiled rotten with ice creams and round-the-clock attention. But Emma Parsons-Reid isn't your typical sweet granny. Advertisement 5 Emma Parsons-Reid blasts campers for hanging their undies out to dry or having noisy sex when on a camping trip with her grandkids Credit: Supplied 5 Emma reveals her grandkids believe that if they survive a camping with their gran, that they'll survive anything Credit: Supplied 5 She brings M&S food for her family to cook at home most of the time, but they might enjoy one meal out Credit: Supplied 'The children always say going camping with me is a rite of passage,' says 58-year-old Emma, from Cardiff. ''If you survive this, you'll survive anything,' is how they look at it.' Emma has exacting standards and has told off fellow campers for having sex within earshot of her grandkids. She even sees red if people hang their knickers outside to dry. 'I'm a nightmare nan 24/7 and that isn't going to change just because we are on holiday,' she warns. Advertisement READ MORE IN FABULOUS 'I don't like people draping underwear outside their tent or caravan. It's awful, so uncouth. 'Pack enough pants for your trip and wash them when you get home – or go to a launderette. 'You don't need pairs of pants hanging in a line like a ship's sail. No one needs to see that. It ruins the holiday photographs.' Advertisement Most read in Fabulous A whopping 42.2 per cent of Brits go camping at least once a year according to the latest statistics. But for camping fan Emma, standards are slipping – and nothing is guaranteed to rile her more than the sound of couples getting frisky under the stars. 'I'm a broken man, but memories made' says RTE's Donal Skehan after dreamy camping trip to Irish coast with family 'People get randy when they go camping,' she says. 'I'm not sure if it's the hot nights or the light evenings – coupled with a few drinks – but I get annoyed if I hear them. Advertisement 'The girls aren't silly. They know what it sounds like and it's mortifying. I get especially annoyed if the noise is keeping me awake at 2am and they're still going at it.' The next morning, Emma says she takes great pleasure in waking up couples she's heard bonking within earshot of her granddaughters – Elise, 17, Isabella, 15, Scarlett, 13, Lucy, 10, and Ivy, eight – during the night. 'Bang and clatter' 'On my way to the shower block, I'll bang and clatter and make lots of noise so they don't get a lie in. 'On one occasion, when the girls were small, I made them sing a few rounds of Row, Row, Row Your Boat really loudly, just to put a couple off.' Advertisement It's usually only her two youngest grandchildren that holiday with her now. 'The older ones don't come any more and I think that's a huge relief for them,' says retired civil servant Emma, who favours Welsh coastal resorts like Porthcawl. I get especially annoyed if the noise is keeping me awake at 2am and they're still going at it 'When they talk about camping with 'Nooney', which is what they all call me, it is like they are telling a survivor's story. 5 Emma, above with a head torch, has told off fellow campers Credit: Supplied Advertisement 'The two youngest get very embarrassed. You see their faces drop when I march off to tell someone off, or start complaining about the state of the site to the manager.' Emma reads fellow campers the riot act if they make noise after 10pm – and hates fire pits and barbecues. 'I don't care if they get annoyed. Looking after the grandchildren can be tiring and I just need a good night's sleep,' Emma, who holidays with her grandchildren and husband Kev 64, a retired engineer, to give her own daughter Hannah, 35, a break, says. 'And there is nothing worse than sitting downwind from someone's barbecue smoke. I don't want to get a whiff of other people's smelly sausages.' Advertisement Emma packs M&S food for her family, often enjoying French sticks, ham and salad. 'Why can't we go back to how it was in the 1970s, when everyone was polite and followed some camping etiquette?' says Emma, who refuses to spoil the children with ice creams or seaside souvenirs. 'They love going into the shops, but they're full of plastic tat and I won't allow it in my tent. 'Awful' 'If they want to buy something and I think it's decent enough, I'll allow it, but I'll make them do some chores first – maybe the washing up. I'm very tight and I work to a budget. Advertisement 'And they eat enough rubbish without me buying them ice creams every day. We might have one meal out, but I'll cook the rest of the time.' On one occasion, Emma suffered a slipped disc and carried a pink lilo with her everywhere, so she could lie down – much to the embarrassment of the grandkids. 'The pain was awful,' she recalls. 'We'd only just arrived and I didn't want to cut the holiday short, so I carried this everywhere we went so I could lie down on it. I couldn't sit down, I had to lie down – even in restaurants and at the arcades. Advertisement 'Everyone looked at me like I was insane and the kids were embarrassed. 'On one occasion, they made some friends who were asking them why their nan was always lying down on the lilo. They hated having to explain it every time.' Who the kids play with is another bone of contention whenever they're away. 'I don't let them play with just anybody,' Emma says. 'If they meet someone, I'll go round to check out the family's tent and make sure they are appropriate. Advertisement 'If they are in a caravan or a campervan I'm usually OK with that, but I will have to walk past to assess the family. If they are drinking a lot, or if there are cans lying around or knickers hanging out, I'll pull the grandchildren away. You can't be too careful. I have complained a lot, but we've had some fun times 'I certainly wouldn't want them playing with rough kids, or rude children that answer back.' In fact, if Emma's granddaughters fail to find suitable playmates, Emma thinks nothing of recruiting some herself. 'I prefer to choose their friends for them,' she says. "You'll often see me approaching more palatable kids if I see a nice family. Advertisement 'I'll ask them their names and say they can play with my grandchildren if they like.' Emma often calls out slovenly campers and the state of site facilities. 'If I think someone is being too messy or leaving a lot of litter, I complain,' says Emma. 'I'm always on the phone to the owner. 'The shower blocks are often disgusting, so that is a common complaint. People often leave a mess all around the basin, but the worst is when they forget their pants and leave them hanging over a rail. Disgusting. That would definitely have me marching down to the site office. Advertisement 'And I can't stand men that go to the showers with their guts falling over the top of their towels, letting it all hang out. ''Morning love,' they go, but I blank them if they are disgusting.' Despite her never-ending complaining, Emma says she and the granddaughters cherish their shared camping trips. 'The kids have the best memories of those times,' she says. "We are planning to go back to Fontygary in the Vale of Glamorgan for three nights in August." Advertisement 'It's always the nightmares they remember. They'll say: 'Do you remember when Nooney did this or that?' and then fall apart laughing. 'They'll remember me telling someone off for having sex, or when the dog had diarrhoea in the campervan. 'We once parked under an acorn tree and all night the acorns dropped onto the roof keeping us all awake. 'I have complained a lot, but we've had some fun times. The kids ridicule me, but it makes me smile as I know they won't forget me when I'm dead and buried.'

'Golden' Irish beach just an hour from Dublin where you might see dolphins
If you think you've got to travel far away for a beautiful beach with golden sands, you're wrong. Merely an hour by car from Dublin, you'll find Brittas Bay in Co. Wicklow, a hotspot for Dublin residents, which can get incredibly busy during summer. Yet, one TikToker reckons she'd still head down there in peak times, owing to its sheer beauty. In her caption, Jeni wrote: "The water temperature reminded me of California summers! Definitely recommend Brittas Bay on a sunny day, even if it's crowded". Other travellers on TripAdvisor also mention its popularity, but once you're there, the reasons are evident. Glorious golden sands beckon those wanting a laid-back day sprawled on their beach towels, not to mention the perfect opportunity for that Insta-worthy snap in your swimming attire, should the mood strike you. For dolphin enthusiasts, there's added excitement as they've occasionally been sighted off these shores. Moreover, the beach is highlighted as a proposed Special Area of Conservation. Proudly holding onto its European Union Blue Flag accolade for over seven years, thanks to crystal clear and unpolluted blue waters that harmonise with the local ecosystem. The environmental stewardship, water quality, safety features, and amenities are all top-notch, assuring that Brittas Bay is an ideal spot for you to take a seaside stroll and discover the charm for yourself. Moreover, the picturesque beach has been graced by the hit series Vikings, RTÉ's miniseries No Tears and a film version of The Count of Monte Cristo, probably due to its stunning scenery and natural appeal. Another TikTok user, @aismckenna, posted a clip of the beautiful beach, humorously noting: "She's popular for a reason," as she scanned the pristine sands and showcased the sea where her daughter took her inaugural swim. Brittas Bay provides lifeguard services during the bathing season, which spans from 1 June to 15 September, ensuring your safety while you enjoy a splash in the waves. On TripAdvisor, visitors rave about the beach, with one commending: "Beautiful, sandy beach. We went early July 15th. Uncrowded but not desolate. Mostly young families. Good swimming areas with a lifeguard." They added that "A 4 euro charge for parking is reasonable. Picnic areas, tarmac pathways, and toilet facilities are well-maintained and safe. Close to other amenities, but I advise that you bring lunch or snacks". Yet another commented: "Went to Brittas Bay beach and I really enjoyed it. It's great to go for a walk, to sunbathe in or to have a picnic and it's only about an hour drive from Dublin". Someone else remarked: "Brittas Bay is much beloved by people from Dublin, and in the summer they flock there. Many have mobile homes and summer houses, and it gets really busy on hot days. "The beach is vast and can accommodate the crowds, but the issue is that there are only two car parks, which, while big, do fill up given the demand. "I like to go here more off-season, and it is amazing when it's nearly empty. It has great sand dunes, a wide expanse of golden sand, and the sea is generally safe for bathing, is clean and in season, it has beach rescue. "In winter, dogs are allowed on the beach but not in summer (check before you go), and it's a lovely walk along the beach if you want a stroll". Just a mere 10-minute drive away lies the picturesque village of Redcross, recently featured in the Hollywood blockbuster The Wonder, an adaptation of Emma Donoghue's psychological thriller with Florence Pugh – making it a must-visit spot for film buffs.
