Holidays

[ailsasyl]

Depends on the finances this year no money so no hols has to be said so happybunny and pal are in the kitchen as I type making bannana bread and fairy cakes and having a great time they visit the swimming pool yesterday and the beach the day before so even though its their first week off their not doing too bad.. Always remember doing day trips with my gran and grandad used to pack the windbreak and camping stove into back of the car and drive( mystery tour style) stop and cook full breakfast when we found a nice spot. It was great fun and such an adventure not knowing where we would end up!!

Does that mean, one husband is enough?

Well if the chiefs can have more than one wife......

We keep saying I should have gone to Norway first and brought back a Viking.

I like to get a bit of sunshine once in a while, and love south west France (on the coast south of Biarritz).

But I really love holidays in Ireland too. We used to go to Baltimore for years when I was small, then on to Spanish Point in Clare, a year in Clifden in Galway, and mum and dad have been going to Spanish Point again ever since (and again next week).

With OH, I have dragged him to Baltimore, we've gone to a couple of places in Galway, he has come on weekends down to Clare.

Last year and this year though, we are going to the town between where we both come from. Great food both in a few markets and fab restaurants, great beaches, plenty to do, loadsa family close by (both for catching up and babysitting!!). Really looking forward to it!!

I worked in Istanbul for a while in my teens & deffo want to go back~but for now we make do with a campsite set in Rendlesham forest(about 1/2hr drive away)beautiful setting,loads for the children to do in the woods,not far to drive to the beach..&most importantly only 1/2hr to endure the "are we there yet"moans from the back!!

We tend to go camping now, as we can't really afford a foreign holiday...

We're off to both Wales and Scotland at the end of August/beginning of September, one is a camping holiday, one is a rented cottage. The dogs will come with us on both holidays.

We'll probably buzz up to the Lakes for one or 2 weekends camping during the next couple of months, but since it's only a 45 min drive, it doesn't seem like a proper "holiday"

My mum or sister come and house sit for us whilst we're away, to look after the chooks and bunnies and veg patch. My mum always refers to it as her "holiday in the country"

Its a bit of a misdescription thing really isn't, what with it not actually being on a island, unless you count the UK as part of the it. I do love the area though Harlech castle has some stunning views.

Lol! Definitely right, tho I do believe that it was once an island, or so the history I read of it claimed, when they cut the new channel for the Artro to allow bigger boats to berth for the Llanfair slate from the mines! Mind you, I dont think it lasted long as an island before the older channel silted up and filled with sand dunes, but as a kid the lure of staying on a campsite that the road gets cut off by the rising tide was something special - even tho we did once get stuck on the island for 3 days after the one of the causeway bridges was washed away!

We haven't been on a proper holiday for a few years due to being too damm busy with work, but we do go away some weekends during the Summer.
We tend to go somewhere like Wales or further SW (Cornwall or Devon) and spend 2 or 3 days in a cosy cottage or log cabin somewhere quiet and away from everyone.

Last Summer we went to a small place near Myddfai in the Brecon Beacons National Park. The cottage had about 2 acres of garden/woodland that the kids loved and got lost in and there were great veiws of the Black Mountains from the garden. There was even a private fishing lake (not that we fish anyway).
I think the nearest person lived about 6 miles away.
It was so quiet and peaceful. We may go again this Summer if the weather improves.

Could do with a holiday.Haven't had one for 5 years due to her indoors having a stroke and not being able to travel
But at least we manage a couple of hours in the country now and then

I live in Devon so would like to go somewhere different this year any one know of any good campsites ?

DeersGlade camp site in Norfolk is fab: quiet and peaceful. The coast & Broads are within easy reach. It's an 8 hour drive for you though. Perhaps you could stop off somewhere else on the way?

We're going to Singapore this year ~ Mr Sheds' got a mate out there who can put us up. I'm already worried about my allotment!
