As others have said, I don't think the weather is being particularly inspiring at the moment!
I have a 3 seperate trips planned over the Easter break but have to say I don't feel very enthusiastic about any of them

Right, here I go. Its cold, wet and horrible out side. The kids want feeding, you know there is a pile of ironing to do and you have to nag the other half to tidy the garden. And the kids just won't get off there nexus or playstation. You are more than a bit worried about paying those damn bills. But you know in the garage is all your camping gear, but you can't even think about that much. But you know, the Ironing will be the same next week and the week after, the garden will be tidy soon enough, now them pesky kids. Shall I just leave them to the electronics and wait till they are older and move out, Nah were not doing that. What we are going to do is phone Katie at Fforest fields

then say to her you need a week or so there in the summer. Its really well priced. She'll say yup no problem. By now you have realised its less than 2 hours from Bristol. You'll also read 8.5 million reviews about it being the place canines go to get replacement testicles. Then you think can it be that good. So you look at that pile of ironing for the 10th time, you really should get around to doing it you know. But having read the reviews you think why not. There's a bit of a smile on your face now as you pick up the iron. It all goes perfect, no double creases on the sleeves, even the delicates don't look as if they have been under a washboard not an iron. But the best bit, when you saw the big pie of ironing, you didn't realise that half of it was bath towels, Oh joy. And there is still half a bottle of Chardonnay in the fridge. Even better.

So the day comes and you turn up on site, George and Katie wave and settle you in. Not long until you have pitched, the scenery is stunning, but where are the kids/ Well they have already made pals and are off with them looking at the lake. Oh god there at the lake on their own. You rush up to find dozens of kids playing and about 10 adults just chatting and watching out for them all. So you have a wander, do some tent porn, stop off to say hello to a few people and decide to put dinner on. After dinner you wash up and meet another family from Somerset, pretty soon you are all around your tent enjoying a glass or 2. Come bed time, the kids are cream crackered, no electronics, just running around playing. You sleep the sleep of the contented. And after breakfast you notice the mountain and think we'll have to walk that one day, but for now, the washing up done your just delighted to sit in your comfy chair, pick up that book you have been trying to read and smile.
