In twelve days time it will be Easter, and providing nothing untoward happens to scupper my plans I'll be off on my first camping break of this year. I've booked a pitch for four nights at Felin Uchaf, the quiet little site near Corwen in North Wales, and only yesterday I ordered a new tent to replace my old one which suffered a horrendous and irreparable tear in the roof last summer.
I may or may not be accompanied by my son who is still off work following the broken ankle he sustained last year, but whether he's with me or I'm on my own I'm really looking forward to this break after six months of not camping. The current weather is windy, bitterly cold and with the remains of last night's snow lingering on various grassy areas, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that in the next twelve days it does an about turn and becomes warmer and sunnier for Easter - I can live in hope I suppose!
