2018 holidays!

Qwerty - Grandad will have to do his homework to answer all GD1's questions this year! I'm sure you will all have a wonderful time.

Q at Kew they have sky walk for kiddies and adults and an education centre. There is quite a bit to do there for little people. It is easy to get to from the rail station too. A fifteen minute or so walk or a short bus ride will take you to Richmond where lunch would be cheaper than Kew or most of the food outlets around Kew Station. If going to Tausauds see if you can book a fast track ticket to sa e queuing as, although I havent been there for years, I have seen absolutely enormous queues outside during holiday times. Feel free to ring me if you go to Kew, I am within easy driving distance and it isn’t like I am going to be rushed off my feet

For us I do not know what we will be doing now considering I am going to be unemployed at least for a while. Husband says we should just do what we would normally and that we will still have enough money for holidays. I know we will still be better off than a lot of my colleagues but I am still a bit windy about spending too much although I feel I need a holiday and will need one even more by the time the flat refurb is finished!

[Qwerty]

Thanks Z will keep it in mind !

[Gemini]

We've booked!
After toying with Malta, The Canaries, and Croatia, we have finally gone for the hotel we have been to twice before and love in Majorca
I have felt a bit down lately with one thing and another, and to actually have something firmly booked is a spirit lifter!
We shall be away from June 24th to July 3rd. Avoiding family birthdays and OH's golf competitions - and her golf break in early June!

[Qwerty]

Hooray ⛱🏖🏝🌞✈️🤽♀️🧘♀️🕶👙 I like Majorca we used to stay in Peurto Pollensa keep meaning to go back

[Daisy]

Gem - that's great news, and just what you need to cheer yourself up. You're pretty certain of a good holiday when you've been there before and loved it. We've only been to Majorca once - when our DSs were little, but we've been to Menorca more recently and enjoyed that. You should be sure of good weather at the end of June!

[Gemini]

Thanks ladies!

Even better, I have discovered that DD2s short break with 2 friends in Majorca, part of her 40th celebrations, is while we are there! DD and I are excited and we will all meet up for lunch or something

[Qwerty]

We’ve just booked a few days away at Easter, Gem will probably know the place as it’s York way 3 nights at Aldwark Manor something to look forward to, also looking at going away for a few days in May for twins 4 th birthday and DS 43rd birthday a very nice hotel we used to take the kids to at St Anne’s called The Dalmeny hopefully if we can all get in at the same time

[Gemini]

Lovely to have things to look forward to Qwerty
Aldwark Manor is very nice!

[Daisy]

Qwerty - that's great. We all need something to look forward to to get us through the rest of winter, and both of those breaks sounds wonderful.

[Plantaholic]

Pleased to hear you Qwerty and you Gemini have booked a break away, you deserve it.

[WeeGranny]

Just booked a few days in Amsterdam for OH's birthday. Well, his birthday is in March and the trip is in May! Thought wee might need a break after kitchen fitting! We're going on the direct From London to Amsterdam new Eurostar service. He's a train buff, so it should be ideal and we can relive memories of A'dam from when we lived there!

[Qwerty]

Sounds good WG I havnt been to Amsterdam since I was 12 and was travel sick on the ferry wouldn’t go that way again, I’ve never been on the Eurostar it’s on my bucket list, so that’s what you’ve decided on for his 70th ?
Its my 70 th next year I would be happy with a new kitchen lol 😂

Unfortunately we had to cancel the cruise we had booked, don’t think we’ll make any plans at the moment, but might manage a few days away later in the year. It’s so nice to have something to look forward to and good to hear all your plans.

Oh I am sure you’ll get away maybe a few days just to see how he gets on, and maybe a cruise the following year
