wasn't replying to your messages, sorry for that. In regard to my camping advice, summer would probably be the best
time
of the year to go camping. I know how much you enjoy being in contact with nature, and having a relaxed and peaceful
time
, that's why I'm sure you will love it! You will be able to read some books, drink some wine and just rest. I would say the only thing you may not enjoy is having to sleep in a tent, it's a little bit uncomfortable but remember that it will be just for a few nights! And remember to grab some jackets, even if it's summer, at night is always cold. I would love to go camping with you, let me know what dates you would be able to go. What do you think about inviting Pepe and Lola, it would be amazing to spend some
time
together, the way we used to do it when we were young! Can't wait to see you! Let me know if you want to catch up next week, any day is ok for me! Lots of love, Maria
