On the outskirts of town a small tent city has been thrown up by the UN’s refugee agency (UNHCR) and its miserable inhabitants have no idea when, or even if, they are going home.

We use a floorless Scott tent as our outhouse, which helps provide a shelter to make this basic function much more pleasant, especially when the wind is howling and the snow is blowing.

Alongside them sit high-tech outdoor cooking gear and chilled champagne boxes.
