Childhood Summer Holidays.

[westendlass]

As we're on our way towards summer its got me thinking about holidays past. Our family usually headed off to North Wales, my mum and dad,five kids and a large hound all crammed in to a Morris Traveller (this was in the seventies) with a trailer and roof rack piled high. We always went camping and the smell of bacon cooking on a gas stove outside in the morning hailed the start of another days new adventures. The smell of a tent still takes me right back. Anyone else have any stories from from childhood holidays? What brings the memories flooding back for you?
