I'm fed up with these short dull unseasonably warmish days and long, long dark nights. But good news It's arrived, it's all 'up hill' to the summer now! Out with the SAD syndrome I say and in with the new! I really miss the bird song and the smell of newly cut grass, what are you missing?Happy

Our M/H is sat outside the house since our return from France/Spain at the end of november. Due to the appalling bad weather and a number of jobs needed doing around the house we've not been away in December and won't be away in January either as the van has to go to the dealers for a bit of warrently work. If all goes well and the van is back at the end of January and the weather is nice and dry, jobs all done we might go away for a few days here and there, I miss sitting in the van and watching the sunset, even in winter. I miss the buzz of a campsite, maybe that is a little sad.

Write your comments here...I don't think that's at all sad.

Laughing thank you

Write your comments here...My sentiments precisely, Tammygirl. I would miss the caravan and the buzz of a campsite too if I had to stay in a house. That is why I stay in the caravan all the year round regardless of the weather. I just visit the house to collect my mail. My cousin occupies and looks after the house so that we can enjoy being away!

The winter solstice is over, the days are gradually getting longer so this is surely the time to be celebrating the great outdoors!
