I live in Wales and ages ago booked a week selfcatering in Pembrokeshire (just over an hour from home).
I'm so excited that we can now go!!! I don't care that non essential shops, pubs, restaurants and tourists attractions are closed.
We will have a different view, we can walk on the beach away from home.
Shopping delivery is arranged for when we arrive so we don't need to shop.
I've never been so excited about a selfcatering holiday!!!!

That is exciting. Have a great time.

We've also booked a holiday. DP has entered a mountain biking event in some woods a few miles away from our house and the entry fee includes two nights camping and there will be food vans and music.

He'd normally just go for the day, but we're seriously considering making it into a proper break away so I'm going to go with him for the weekend so will be able to go for walks, watcg the races and hopefully if the weather is good, sit around in the evening drinking, eating and chatting somewhere other than our own garden.

I'm quite excited about it. Of course, if it rains, I'll stay at home do my own thing, but given how busy and expensive other campsites will be this summer, it seems daft to pass up the opportunity.

BarbaraofSeville · 26/03/2021 08:50

Not this weekend, but in the summer that is, so hopefully will go ahead.

Cindersrellie · 26/03/2021 08:50

That's fantastic! Have a wonderful time Grin

RaspberryCoulis · 26/03/2021 08:50

Have an amazing time. So jealous. Still locked in our homes in Scotland.

Thank God it's not this weekend, well, near me anyway as we are predicted wall to wall rain!!

It sounds fabulous! Fingers crossed for good weather!

I loved camping, mostly wild camping, but my knees are too screwed now for sleeping on mats or air beds etc.

I'm only 52, never expected it to hit me this young! Do as much as you can, while you can!!

Wolfiefan · 26/03/2021 08:56

Have a wonderful holiday OP. Enjoy!!

Sirzy · 26/03/2021 08:57

I’m very jealous. I should have been going away but will have to wait longer.

We have a few days in north wales booked for whit week so I am hoping they want us and we can safely go by then!

Have fun

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 26/03/2021 08:58

@PembrokeshireDreaming

It's great to hear fun news!!!

I LOVE Wales & the beaches. I wonder if they'll be letting us in over the summer? Last time I drove down for the day, I badly sprained my ankle & ended up sleeping in the car, at the beach, overnight!

squashyhat · 26/03/2021 08:59

Excited on your behalf! Hope you have a great time. We're in England so have to wait a bit, but we're booked to go to Dartmouth in June and do a "grand tour" of Yorkshire with friends in August. Can't wait Smile

FlibbertyGiblets · 26/03/2021 09:11

Have a lovely time!

Themadcatparade · 26/03/2021 09:30

I’m so excited for you!! Something to look forward to.

I miss wales Sad

@BarbaraofSeville that sounds like a dream especially with the camping and the music. Reminds me of summer.

I have also just booked a holiday for two nights for me and the family to treat the kids. Nothing much only an hour away from home but In a beautiful lodge over Easter (was reasonably priced as well much cheaper than a hotel!) just something to get us out of the house for a bit. The kids wanted to climb a few mountains this year so thought it might be good to get one of those in whilst we are there.

It really brightened my mood up yesterday.

Themadcatparade · 26/03/2021 09:30

@squashyhat where abouts in Yorkshire are you planning to visit? I could recommend some places if you haven’t yet got a full plan in place!!

Woodlandbelle · 26/03/2021 09:35

Oh my goodness. Enjoy Wine
How lovely to get a break

PembrokeshireDreaming · 26/03/2021 09:39

The weather forecast is very mixed but I'm Welsh and used to rain!!!! I will be packing our wellies and some jigsaws.

Enjoy, hope you have a great time.

I feel like we've been in lockdown forever. I think the last time I was in our local pub was October ☹☹
I can't wait till we can leave our LA area

Londontown12 · 26/03/2021 09:44

Awww sounds bliss !! Have a great time (very jealous) 😊 xx

HelplessProcrastinator · 26/03/2021 09:47

Have a fab time. DH is from Pembs so we know it well. Hoping to get there sometime soon.

Angrybird17 · 26/03/2021 09:51

Love Wales too.

shinynewapple21 · 26/03/2021 09:54

Enjoy! It's great to hear people starting to become unlocked and able to get out and enjoy themselves .

We have a holiday booked for June but thinking we may try to get a couple of nights SC at the end of April just to be somewhere different, maybe to see the sea!

needadvice54321 · 26/03/2021 09:57

Oh I'm so jealous! Wales is one of my favourite places in the world ❤️

We've booked a lodge in the Forest of Dean for summer and I can't wait, we'll be hopefully heading to a lovely South Wales beach whilst there

hellswelshy · 26/03/2021 10:06

Ahhh great OP, me too! We are heading to North Wales, self catering lodge - am over the moon! Have a great time Smile

CuthbertDibbleandGrubb · 26/03/2021 11:41

I think you should have told us all this in Welsh.

MinnieMountain · 26/03/2021 11:54

Lucky you?

Where are you going?

I can’t wait for our trip to Whitesands but that’s not until August Sad

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 26/03/2021 12:15

AAAAAÀAAAAAAA CONGRATULATIONS!!

So jealous Envy We went to Saundersfoot last year and Narberth the year before, and both were lovely (though no offence Narberth, but if I'd known what was coming I'd have booked a penthouse in Las Vegas....)

PembrokeshireDreaming · 26/03/2021 18:06

We will be staying a few miles from Amroth.
