Any more holidays?

[Gemini]

Who still has a holiday to come this year? I don't so will have to live vicariously though any of you who do

[Oma]

No chance this year for us 😟

[Elisi]

Yes we are off to Menorca to see OH's younger daughter who lives there. We try to get there every 2 years. She doesn't come to UK often and when she does it is to see her mother who is not very well. She has a Spanish partner who we like very much. He owns and runs the largest dog/cat kennels on the Island, and also hold agility training which they win lots of prizes for.

There is still a huge amount of feral cats on the island which are kept as such as they keep the rats down. We find it all very different but realise it is a necessity of sorts. We manage to feed loads of cats when we go! There are local shops, mainly Asian run which sell lots of cat's food at exorbitant prices as they know we Brits never say no to a starving animal. In 2013 I fed a family of females who had all had litters! It was a tad expensive but we thought worthwhile, except poor OH said, what will happen when we leave?

Well, you never know do you. You just do your best when there. Going early September. On the way home visiting more family.

We have decided to go away in early October but nothing booked as yet. Probably to one of the Canary Islands as I am better in the drier climate and the journey is just about manageable. OH is hoping he picks the right lottery numbers as he received a brochure for all kinds of exciting holidays!

[Mimi]

No more for us this year, apart a trip to St Fagans just outside Cardiff this coming Sunday. We had our holiday in May and that seems so long ago .

[Nanto2girls]

We are going to Barcelona in October, for 4 nights, on a city break.

[ZIZI]

We are going on holiday in November as usual. Don't know where to as husband is choosing. Also off to Newcastle this week and husband was talking about a city break sometime in September but we haven't got around to deciding where. I like Barcelona (lucky you Nan2) and we have been to Prague, Rome, Madrid, Paris I have never been to any of the ex Eastern block countries but I hear that some are pretty good.

[Glammanana]

We don't have anything booked as yet but where talking about a few days away in September as I have a biggie birthday coming up,I'm not really fussed to be honest and would enjoy a day with all the family just as much we will have to wait and see what is decided.

[Enfys]

We are off on Saturday on a cruise to the Baltics. Getting excited now! It is our golden wedding anniversary whilst we are away so we will book to go to Marco Pierre Whites restaurant on the actual day. Lots of interesting place to see, including Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tallin and two days in St Petersburg. Will be busy this week washing, ironing and packing.

[Oma]

Enfys be aware Copenhagen is very expensive , it's better to have lunch on board it's only a short walk away from town centre wear really comfy shoes for St Petersburg lots off walking but a beautiful city we did the two days with a private tour called Alla tours lots cheaper than the ships and you see more , only 11 people on our mini bus prepare to be worn out on the second day I was so tired I fell asleep during the night time show 😀 I'm green with envy now have a lovely time

[Avo]

We haven't been away since May because of the birth of our newest gs we wanted to be around to support mummy and daddy. We are going to Portugal to our apartment 1st September for 16 days and the family are coming whilst we are there. Back to Portugal October starting with a few days in Lisbon and then taking the bus down to Lagos to our place for a week. Then off to St Lucia in January for some winter sun. Must start checking flights for next year....... I really fancy the Baltic cruise Enfys, it is on my to do list. Look forward to hearing all about it.

[Enfys]

Oma, we are going with Alla tours. They have very good reviews and so far there are 3 other couples on our tour. I know a lot of the places will be very expensive so we are planning lunch back on the ship after a walk around.

[Gemini]

Enjoy your holidays!

Oma, once your OH is through his treatments, you both deserve a wonderful holiday

[Oma]

Enfys they are brilliant very flexible too , our guide Paulina if we passed anything off the beaten track would ask if we wanted to stop and go and see it , cant do that on a guided tour with the ship. and the lunches were really nice

[Oma]
