Thanks for your responses. Problem solved.
I went for a Coleman Instant 5 Dome Tent. It's a pop-up type tent, only for good weather, but its for low use and has plenty of space for the two of us. It's pretty light, though the way it folds does take up a width of 110cm.
We just did a test pitch in the garden, after watching a demo video on YouTube. The easiness of the video didn't quite match that first pitch! But we, at least, now know what to watch for, which wasn't covered in the vid.
Taking the tent down was easy, but took a little time to work out how to re-fold it. It went into the bag easily, though the width takes away my idea of a new, larger bag that will take the tent, groundsheet, carpet, pegs, hammer and peg puller, just so all the stuff is in one place.
For main camping we will use a Vango airbeam (5 size) which we bought last year, but had to cancel our camping trips twice and I think it'll be some time before we can get to main camping. It could well be the vango gets sold and we return to a more conventional tent.
