This morning has flown by. I don't know where I found the time to go to work as my mum used to say. :laugh:
Stop swearing! Lol.

Don’t you just love it, when, you have 1C, and sleet falling steadily, and, other people start posting about their 4c and 5c temperatures? Next will be somebody posting from the Canaries, or, Caribbean, telling us about the sunshine, blue sea, etc etc ;)

We have 2c and sunshine.

Just booked the caravan in for a tour of Cornwall in April. :smile:
One week near Mevagissey, one week at Lands End and a week at Padstow.
We were going to do this last year, but had to cancel when the lockdown came in 3 days before we were due to go away.:angry:

April 2021? I like an optimist ;)

On a serious note, well, done, must do the same and get some booking made. We would normally be crossing Pyrenees around now, en-route to Spain, at this time of year, but, not this year of course. Will have to make plans for a tour in UK.

It's not a problem booking the sites we use - most don't require a deposit and none of them are ever at capacity. I can thoroughly recommend Certified Locations (CLs) - generally off the beaten track, quiet, scenic and cheap (especially the off grid ones).
Worth a try, particularly if you're only used to big organised sites and fancy a bit of peace and quiet.
 
Been out for my first ride of 2021, just a 90 minute spin on my studded mtb, sunny but very cold, only fractionally above zero. Even with the studdies I kept to the main road, the ice on everything else would have been pushing my luck. Once out of the houses the main road is now very quiet anyway. Enjoyed the sunshine and all the sparkling-with-ice snow, it was nice to be out.
