And I'm ignoring the weather reports that say my next weekends planned camping trip is gonna be a wet and stormy one!

All the camping gear is slowly getting pulled out and checked, and it's slowly filling the lounge up, I'm now letting the weather get the better of me

Dont worry I'm in the same position, but this will be my first trip. Thankfully though I'll be learning to surf, so I'll be getting wet anyway.

It'll be all good! Just pack an extra bottle of wine and everything will be fine :-)...... We are off to North Devon on Thursday and the weather forecast has been changing by the hour for next week.....

Oooh, are you going Newquay way, DFish? We've been there in some really bad thunderstorms. Pull your wetsuit on and you'll be fine!

Have fun in the surf.

To all who are going off this week, enjoy it and don't worry about the weather. Wish I was heading out with you!

Due to hubby being at the beck and call of HMRN it's the only chance we'll have to go away as a family this year (actually thinking about it, it's the first time we've all been away in 3 years as he was actually at sea the last two summers so was me and the kids camping! so we will definately be taking full advantage. And who knows, we may even attempt to stay on longer if we can :)

We are away on Friday for three nights to Scone near Perth for the 80's Rewind Scotland festival. Really looking forward to it and not bothered what the weather decides to throw at us!

Happy camping everyone and remember to smile

We are off to North Wales tomorrow for five nights. I've packed the waterproofs just in case but I'm sure we will have fun whatever the weather.

Happy Camping all
