Holiday Booked

[Bex]

Yeah! I'm off to Turkey in August.

I was trying to book a flight last week on the internet but the website kept getting an error and saying please return to previous screen and try again, I did this 6 times when I checked my credit card the flight company had taken £3000.00 from me but not given me any flights. They have returned the money but it took them a week.

All I need do know is sort someone to look after lottie when I'm away.

....my credit card the flight company had taken £3000.00 from me but not given me any flights....

Bet that gave you heart failure, didn't it Bex....?

[Bex]

Didn't half. All sorted now though. Won't be booking with them on the internet in the future, phone is much safer

You lucky thing

I'm off to Cavus Bay (avatar picture), its by Kumluca we also fly into Antalya. I've got friends out there who I go to see every year.

The kids love Turkey and the resort we go to is so small I know they are safe.

Hi Bex,

Sounds nice, maybe I should go for the day.

My Dad has just bought a holiday home over there, half way up a hill near Mount Olympus miles from civilisation.......heaven!

Have fun, Mandy

Have a great holiday Bex. I'm off to Tunisia next week, then back to get the planting started. Hope you find someone to look after the lottie.

Enjoy your holiday Alice.
My OH is dragginf me of on holiday on 12th May for 2 weeks. Don't know what i am going to do with all my plants.
Sometimes when i can't sleep at night i start thinking about it and i literally break out in a cold sweat.
How sad is that when i should be looking forward to my 2 weeks in Purto Rico.

Looks like the Grapes fair get about the world Bramble. Enjoy your holiday. We try to take out main holidays in March and October to avoid abandoning lots of plants as it is difficulr to find anybody reliable to do it.

[bramble]

That was the thinking here as well but sometimes it just does'nt work out like that.

[serenity]

I know exactly what you mean bramble. We have 2 weeks july/august booked and I am spending many a sleepless night planning my sowing so harvesting doesn't fall around this time plus don't want stuff in the greenhouse which will need constant watering. I could ask my father in law but he has his own, (NOT from experience but "you don't want to do it like that, you want to do it like this" school of thought) ideas for example, tomatoes should be picked green and ripened on the windowsil.

[Bex]

July/August wouldn't be my choice as it is far more expensive and now with the lottie but my youngests school threatened to report me to social services if I took him out of school again.

Hope everyone has a great time on the holidays and look forward to hearing what a great time everyones had.

[Mrs Dobby]

Our main hols are scheduled for June / July, and I dont think we are going to go away fro more than a day or two, cs we both want to spend the time on the plot!

Next hols are at the beginning of May, so a week off just in time for plenty of planting!

[Earthbabe]

We're working round each other for the school hols this year and have a wedding in June and Miss EBs birthday so I doubt we will get anywhere for the summer due to not being off together and Mr EBs surgery (just a little nick!). Oh and money!!!

Hope everyone enjoys their hols, some fab places to go,look forward to hearing all about it.

We are not planning a holiday this year, having made the mistake of going away for a fortnight at the end of May last year. Big mistake even though No 1 son and friend looked after the lottie for us, they were so busy gadding around the country that they didn't manage to water every day in all that heat.

We paid for a fortnight in the sun and found out that it had been just as warm here too. this year we stick to the lottie.
