I have been staycationing for the last 18 months. It would be nice to get away somewhere but at 73 years of age I hope to die of natural causes and not because I took a chance and decided to go camping.

Life is full of decisions and sometimes you make the wrong ones

I've had great holidays abroad and great holidays at home - and had bad weather at both and felt they were both extortionate at time (school age child partly the reason) - but also had great weather at both and got good value for things.   

Whether my holiday is enjoyable or not is more and my family about me than the things we can't control, a lot of it is whether you are happy in yourselves. I think that's a bit of a camping fundamental.

I never get why people get over-wound-up about how language is used - if you don't like someone saying, for example, "Hi" instead of "Hello" then really? Is it worth getting wound up about it?

I'm not a fan of portmanteaus but I have to admit I love "Chumocracy" as used to describe Boris and co.

Nothing there I could possibly disagree with. When the kids were around we mostly holidayed in a caravan in the uk, especially at first because back then sites charged per pitch only so it was affordable for the 5 of us. We probably wouldn't have had holidays at all otherwise. In later years we started going abroad with the younger 2 kids as the oldest had got married and I had a slightly better paid job. When the youngest 2 had grown up we carried on flying abroad until we retired and could no longer afford it, so we bought another old caravan, and resumed our "old ways".
