With -15 this morning, it is not without longing for warmer times. We must now jointly keep our fingers crossed, keep the distance and hold out and hope for a summer that can offer new adventures and a little more closeness. At Easter we have probably thought of a small trip with our wheelhouse until then it will stand and rest tucked in yesterday's carport with great precision. Wish you a nice week in Stockholm and hope you can keep the heat in the houseboat.

Glad that at least liiiite is happening out there. I would guess that the motorhome/caravan industry and campsites are some of the few "winners" in this pandemic.

Agreed, the camping industry probably has it easier than many others in the tourism sector.

The fair camping tickets for Elmia ran out as quickly as a salary, but it's nice to have some positive news. We really hope there will be a fair at Elmia this year even if we only go for one or a few days. It all depends on how the pandemic develops, maybe we are down in Europe then ...
