    Holidaying not too far away

    Any recommendations?

    Pontypridd.

    It's simply stunning in May. Never mind 'Paris in the Springtime'.

    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        Yes, but only to Pontypridd

        (if you live within a mile of Pontypridd it's only £7.50)

            I liked Jersey. It is like being in northern France with the names of the places and the architecture, but it has the benefit that there are no French people.

            On a serious note, the food was without exception superb. They do pub lunches very well and expensive restaurants are even better.

            It is good if you like to see castles, not sure that I would recommend it for other sightseeing activities though.

                  Go to Paris, rent an apartment off the Rue De Rivoli for an absolutely perfect break, you're not told what time to have breakfast, as might should you stay in a hotel. You come back to your apartment in the afternoon and relax absorbing the atmosphere. perfect.
