I'm going to Dorset this year, never been their before so, very much looking forward to it.

So, where's everyone else heading this year?

My husband has got thousands of Air Miles accumulated from his business flying days but I have an almost pathalogical hatred of flying, so I expect we'll be holidaying in this country.

We're fortunate enough to have a modest holiday base down in East Sussex so I expect we'll be heading off down there fairly regularly. No airport delays, no lost baggage, no security check, no huge fees for airport parking. Bliss

We have already booked to go to Shanklin,Isle of Wight again this year in May.

As usual it'll have to be the only village in the UK beginning with CHW

Seefeld in Austria for me in June

We went last year in the middle of June and it was freezing cold and very wet, so this year we are going a fortnight earlier just to see if it can possibly be colder and wetter

Lots of long walks, coffee shops, and plenty of good food

Might even get the train to Mittenwald.

Just about to become a grandpa for the first time and, more to the point, SOMEBODY is about to become a grandma, so hols are on hold.

Regards

Ian

Ours is in Florida, so that will be us doing the delays, lost luggage, security queues and of course enjoying the overwhelmingly welcoming greeting that we always get as we arrive with our hard earned money to spend! Sorry, I dreamt that last bit - always feel like a criminal when we arrive, but fortunately the actual residents are more welcoming.

Builth Wells in Wales for a week (on top of a mountain nice and quiet and remote) at the end of April. Then the Cotwolds in October again remote lots of walking and cycling and then The Lake District in November. Because of my OH business we cant holiday in June July or August.

Yorkshire Dales, as usual, in other words - home, like Alan! We tend to stick to day trips nowadays and, as we are more outside than in most of the time anyway, we are quite content. And as day trips can include either the east or west coast or the Lake District, the scope is great!

We are going to Newquay Cornwall before the mummy's little solders break up for school holidays made the mistake of being their when they all broke up went from reasonably quite to boom town in 24 hours (Nuts) Hope to do a spot of sea-fishing might even get to the Eden project, cannot wait to sample one or three of Warrens finest Cornish Pasties tried to bring some home one year we didn't get out of Cornwall before they were well and truly finished off

The derbyshire pennines in a couple of weeks to sprinkle my dear departed father a bit. August I got five days with my troop of Sea Cadets camping in Bournemouth area
Then Crete for a week in October (this is the one I am looking forward to most!!)

I'm hoping to get last minute tickets for the Glastonbury Festival and will go with my two boys and meet up with my wacky friends and we'll all camp together. Get to see some fantastic music, great company and Lizzie will get to rock

Got a load of holiday brochures so are looking through. I would like Sardinia or Morrocco. Also got the chance to go to America and stay with friends there in Atlanta and California, then maybe on up to Colorado too.

At the moment, could end up anywhere although I feel the Hebrides calling me

Just got back from a cruise in Norway, went to see the Northern lights,
very cold, and lots of snow and ice but got some great photo's. would post one but at moment they're on hubbies pc,

My allotment, if at all possible!!!

I have been doing two jobs recently, so time to do exactly what I want is in short supply.

I haven't told the OH that I have arranged to take time off work over half-term, because he would have us booked onto some freezing cold campsite in the motor home if he knew, and that really isn't my idea of fun, especially at this time of year.
Not sure how long I can keep it a secret, though. Of course, if the weather is good, I could just go off to the lottie every morning and let him think that I am going to work as usual!
