Now it's that awful time of year, anybody booked or thinking of booking a holiday yet?
Do tell, may cheer us up.
I'm going to Greece, Alonissos, to be exact, altho' to placate any TOGS, its real name is Liadromia.

Munich, Regendburg, Vienna and Budapest and hopefully working in germany somewhere - and maybe Montpellier

Going back to the cottage on Orkney I stayed in last year - I still have a few islands up there yet to visit (Rousay, Westray, Eday and Shapinsay).

I think it was windy everywhere on Thursday.

We will probably plump for Cornwall for our hols this year, it's been 3 years since we last went so we'll probably visit the Eden project again.

I can't wait for summer Smile

3 months of fun, freedom, flip flops, sun, travelling and shorts. No more dark, cold rainy nights - oh, and ice cream Smile

We've just been to Berlin for a few days so I doubt if we'll be far for a while. We tend to book several spur of the moment midweek breaks or short trips via the internet travel agents. As we live in Holland, we usually opt for Germany, Belgium, France - within a reasonable driving distance. So we don't take the traditional two week holiday.

I've spent endless hours on't 'net trying to think of somewhere to go but nothing has grabbed me so far. Can't decide between Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Baltic states........ Rolling Eyes

We don't do resort holidays, prefer something a little bit different (went to Jordan followed by a few days in Paris last year) but I work in a school so can only go late July & August and some of the best trips I've found don't go during those times! Or, they are VERY expensive!
Hubby rather fancies another escorted or coach tour or similar so that he can just sit back and enjoy. Any advice or experiences of particular companies would be very welcome. Very Happy

You're mad you are Laughing

You get used to inclement weather walking up in the hills, and the land looks its greenest and lush-est immediately after a rain shower. I don't particularly like getting caught out in a hailstorm although it's happened a few times when I've been miles from anywhere. I'd do some walks in the snow but a) it's difficult getting the car to my normal haunts in those conditions and b) I often walk alone so it could be dangerous.
