I signed up for this year’s challenge in the hope it would motivate me to more regular writing. With a number of posts written in March and scheduled for the April A-Z Challenge, it was an encouraging start. Planning was going well.

We’re starting to see a slackening of restrictions and pondering next moves. There’s an excitement around the campground.
