You may have noticed...

...we are going on holiday. Soon.

Sitting next to Rhiannon, my eldest, on the settee two nights ago, I said, "We're going camping on Saturday, I'm sooo excited!"

Calmly, quietly but with kindness, Rhiannon said, "I know mum, you've been excited since April."

What does this say about me? Am I really more excitable than a child? Or is my ten-and-a-half year old daughter just extraordinarily mature and laid back for her years? Why am I soooo excited about getting cold, wet and windswept, not to mention eaten alive by the local midgie population? If you had told me, ten years ago, that I would be:
1. Camping and
2. Sooo excited about it
I would have laughed hysterically to the point of needing clean underwear.

Who said having children would never change them?

Moi?

Packing!

Three months to go,
I must begin a list.
I haven't booked the site yet,
Perhaps that's the place to begin!

One month to go,
I'm onto my fifth list.
I now know where we're going,
And I can't wait to get booked in!

One week to go,
I'm running out of lists.
I untangled the kites last night,
I'm not sure it'll all fit in!

One hour to go,
I'm going to pack my list.
I found all the flip-flops at last,
Now, let our holiday begin!
