[pipkin112]

Wasn't going to go away this year but a friend has asked me if I fancy a week in France carp Fishing I might have to break the news gently to the wife.

In Blois in the Loire Valley at the moment. Weather's lovely. May have a week's holiday in Brighton at the end of May. Haven't decided about summer yet - maybe Bavaria and Austria. Can't fly due to son's ear operation, but there's more than enough to see within a driveable distance. Not as cheap though.

 

[in the sticks]

Really unsure now as been let down by travelling companion, so last minute beach holiday for one at this rate

[Kinky Gerbil]

Guess where I'm going for 2 weeks in August.

Wasn't too bad last time apart from the fact they were having a heatwave.

I had a work trip to seaworld outside of the school holidays and there was enough screaming kids then, right in the school holidays would be another level of hell!

 

[The Mole]

No proper holiday this year as we are in the first year of our new business (in South Africa) and have little spare money and even less time. I shall be going to see my wife there for two weeks in July and hope to have a trip to the Kruger whilst I'm there

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Despite my missus and youngest daughter never wanting to go on any of the rides and not liking the restaurants I find myself booked for two fecking weeks----'coz it was a bargain'
I will definitely have a moan up if I miss 'POYETS RETURN'

 

[BN9 BHA]

Just got back from a week in Swanage Dorset and surrounding areas, going back in May for the Diesel Gala on the Railway, Nice & Monaco in June, Dartmouth Devon in August and then Southwold Suffolk for Christmas.

.......might try and squeeze a small cruise in somewhere as well.

Swanage is nice, did you visit Far Corfe which is just up the road?

It is really good fun the theme parks you will love it.

I saw a bloke wearing a t- shirt with it on in Corfe Castle village, always makes me laugh when I hear Swanage mentioned.

Very good railway that one.
