January can be a dull month for most. It’s almost as if it’s trying to give the dreaded Monday a run for it’s money, with things such as “blue Monday” and “dry January”. The Christmas holidays have flown by again and somehow you find yourself back at work counting down the days until your next holiday, fantasizing at your desk where you should take the kids next.
Summer may be months away but that doesn’t mean your next holiday has to be. Why not take a weekend break at a five star holiday park and go camping by the sea? The sun may not be as bright as it is in your memories of that time at the beach last summer but if you take the time to pull on a few extra layers, you’ll experience the beauty of camping in the winter. The chilled air and early nightfall is a perfect excuse to light that campfire early and start toasting some marshmallows.
