This year the Spring Equinox coincides with the beginning of Easter, so this year, the Special Event brings with it the usual infestation of caravans.

For those who aren't into it, the Spring Equinox, which occured this morning at 5.18am, means that there is exactly the same amount of daylight and night in the 24 hour period.

Magickally, (spelt correctly, with the 'K') this is the most powerful day of the year, symbolising new starts, new chapters, and periods of increased growth, power and new beginnings.

But this year, it also starts our usual infestation of Caravans, which, because of the early Easter, has also started early.

Complete with the usual traffic hold ups, slow drivers, accidents, traffic jams and so on.

But you've got to feel sorry for these people who can't afford a proper holiday this year. They've rushed home from work, packed the two wheeled tin can and driven for miles, just to park it up in a field somewhere.

There they'll stay for two or three days in the howling wind, heavy rain, and snow on Sunday. Then on Monday afternoon, they'll do exactly the same thing in reverse and drive home, ready for work on Tuesday morning.

Which means the roads will be grid locked on Monday afternoon as well. Fortunuately, working nights, I've missed the predicted Nationwide gridlock at 12pm dinner time (Lunch time in Norfolk) today as I was in bed.

And I'm off on Monday as well, so I've missed that gridlock as well.

Caravanners - you've got to feel sorry for them, haven't you?
