Holiday

[lady-janine]

I know we still have Christmas to get through but have any of you thought about your holiday for next year yet?

I've just booked mine that's why i'm being nosey.

[MargoTester]

Not yet - but for me to ne nosy where are you going?

[Barmaid]

I think it will be a Haven Holiday Park at Tenby. It was such a success for young Master BM that I think we will just go back there.

However, Mr BM and I are planning to clear off on our own at some point since we worked out the other day that in over 5 years we have never been away just us - without children, parents, grandparents or to do anything other than attend weddings and funerals! Italy seems to be the likely destination.

Oh yes...a very tempting cricket match in Ireland has been extended for some birding....visiting and Guinness testing.....♣

I have three booked for 2015 - Cuba (February), Lefkas (June ) and Lanzarote (October). I always book my holidays a year in advance to avoid disappointment.

[Buenchico]

Holiday? What's that?

I had a couple of nights in Madrid last year. Prior to that, my last holiday was in 1989. I might try for a night or two abroad next year but it can't be any longer than that 'cos I've got five felines to feed.

Don't know yet. First lot of leave is in February - might go to Oman

[lady-janine]

margo - i'm off to attend the international ceramics festival in Aberystwyth. meeting up with friends and acquaintances, lectures, demos, etc. and of course, maybe (?) spending the evenings in the bar.

If my wife and I weren't too old, stiff in the joints, etc., we would probably be going on a self-catering holiday in either Germany or the Netherlands. We really miss that kind of holiday, but I suppose that, now that we can't really go far, it's all a holiday for us!

[lady-janine]

b.b. are you sure it's not possible to have a holiday?

[MargoTester]

L-J that sounds interesting, hope you have a lovely time. We are thinking of a few days in Budapest with 4 of our quiz buddies. We went to Prague for four days this year and had a great time, lovely city lots to do and see and still very reasonable.

[bookbinder]

Oh, yes, it's possible to have a holiday, in the sense of going abroad. We're not exactly bedridden. But, my wife and I get so tired after the most routine exercises (weekly shop; cut the grass; do the washing) that we think that we would spend most of the holiday feeling too tired to get around and see the sights, and it's a lot of money to spend to be tired. We can be tired, more cheaply, at home! But we do miss our foreign trips.

"....the international ceramics festival"

What takes place at an international ceramics festival?

[Prudie]

I always book in January for July and then about March for September. I know exactly where I'm going, always the same place - a small quiet Balearic island, home of some eminent ex-pats :-)

[lady-janine]

nj - apart from meeting up with all sorts of people from all over the world (some of whom have become friends) - lots of lectures; talks; demos (indoors and outside); chances to make things yourself; film shows; trade stands to explore; 3/4 cafes and bars to eat, drink and sit and chat in.

[ummmm]

Croatia...hopefully.

We also have a few dates set for Ireland.

[lady-janine]

that sounds posh prudie.

[slinky.kate]

I won my holiday this year(5 days anywhere in Britain for 2 with glentans bus tours)so just waiting on there new brochure,was planning on going to the Hebrides,i have never been there.

[slinky.kate]

I would love to go abroad now as I can well afford it but doctor says no,my insurance would be twice the price of my holiday,if I could go I would like to go to USA,canada.

We love our holidays and try to take 5 two week holidays per year. We only got 4 this year though - two to Tenerife in winter (we've just come back) and twice to corfu during the summer. We are hoping to go back to Tenerife in January, then somewhere end March, then corfu again a couple of times during the summer then back to Tenerife in November. Lovely jubbly!
