Why folk even bother to go family camping in the UK is beyond me, but I guess it's each to there own.
Well I generally camp with friends and have enjoyed many UK trips. However, to be honest I am getting sick to the back teeth with the weather in this country. I mean take Sunday just gone for instance, a glorious hot and sunny day, perfect for relaxing on the beach in. So are we in for a week or two of nice weather? OH NO, we then have to be punished with a horrible cloudy and hideously humid day the next. Followed by temperatures back to 16/17 with the constant threat of rain. There are numerous lovely places to visit in the UK, but the weather is always waiting to P&&& on what ever it is you have planned for the day. It's June for god sake, is it any wonder that depression is rife in this country? We spend half the year with cold, wind, rain and less than 10 hours of daylight, most of which is spent at work. Then finally the spring arrives where we usually experience a bout of gloriously warm weather in April or May, everyone gets fired up and optimistic for the arrival of summer, only to rained on constantly again. It's like being punched in the face repeatedly, then it stops....just as you think it's all over, breath a sigh of relief and start mopping your wounds, it continues.
Sorry about that long, if slightly off topic rant but the bottom line is, I too will be off to South of France next year. I want to be relaxing on beaches for my holidays not constantly looking up at the sky and deciding if it is worth getting the BBQ out or if I will need a rain jacket or even wellies. I will still continue to holiday in dear ole Blighty but if I don't start seeing more sun I am going to get quite upset.

Because
a) DH hates the heat and I hate travelling long distances
b) Don't have passports - for reason see a) above
c) Went to France many times as a child - well you more or less have to go to France to get to Italy, but was never tempted to actually stay there after the first year
