We're taking the TT away at Easter. The only thing on my mind is the time we moved house on 28th April and it was deep deep snow.

Ah well - fortune favours the brave.

As mentioned Easter is late this year so it will be a bit warmer, we have been away many Easters from when the children were 1. Its been dry but cold during the day and down to about 2 deg at night but with a 3 season bag, fleece liner and blanket we have all been snug as a bug

Me and missus off for our first camp of the year, 9-11th March. This will be our first trip in the Carhdinal too, but with EHU and low level fitted heating system should be fine. Fingers crossed!

We go off on Easter Sunday for 2 months swanning around France. Last year we were in Rouen on May 3 and it was -1 centigrade. I hope this heatwave you are all predicting for this year, does arrive.

Ah the joys of being a retired wrinkly

Easter last year was at C&CC Site at Slindon, T Shirt weather & a cardy during the late afternoon! - It was warmer than when we went in the August  

Night time we got the chill out of the air with a small butane heater and a large brandy or two   

Hope this years as good
