Anyone who has been awake at any time over the last 24 hours, will have noticed that a modicome of rain has fallen. Enough to spill the contents of a tributary near Wareham over the surrounding fields.
Now i face a dilema. If this appalling weather breaks in the next day or two, should i chance packing up the camping equipment and heading slightly westward?
Having not had a break away from home in just over two years we are begining to go stir crazy. In fact the last time we were away from home was on a rather fated camping trip, which coincided with our elderly dog expiring, very peacefully, in the tent. (What do you do with a dead dog in a tent at 2am?)
After much encouragement, my husband, who hates camping, was begining to come round to the idea of again sleeping under canvas. Indeed, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he has been looking forward to it, and has been hunting down all sorts of bits and pieces to make this forthcoming trip as comfortable as poss.
Additionally, our finances have been under considerable strain for at least the same amount of time that we haven't had a break, so roughing it seemed the most plausible way of vacationing.
However, the land must be fairly well soaked now, and given that a heat wave is not forecast in the next day or two, that will leave us soggy underfoot.
So the question is: Do we take a chance and go for it like true soldiers, or wimp out and stay at home which will inevitably mean fixing cars, catching up with housework, watching daytime telly (yuk!)and perhaps having the odd (expensive, 'cos they always are) day out?
The verdict's open.

Hmm: a difficult choice - lie in squelchy mud or do housework? I can't decide which sounds worse!
