Reply to: summer holiday plans

Currently sitting in a bar in Sevilla, taking the train to Cádiz this afternoon. Back next week.

No other plans at the moment but that's not to say I won't be doing anything.

I love Seville, one of my favourite cities. I assume you're doing all the good stuff like the Real Alcazar?

While you're in the Cadiz area, the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art (aka the Spanish Riding School, with the Lippizaners) is just up the road in Jerez. You can go and see the nags in their stables & paddocks and, depending on the time of year (they go to Vienna during the winter months) you may also be able to see a show. You have to book in advance though. Thoroughly recommended, if you enjoy watching horses prancing about.

It's a tough life.

2 weeks at this place in Gran Canaria for me in July with the famiy.

Then a trip away with some friends in Septemer to Benidorm for a lot of beers and nonsense.

if

the bridge

doesn't have meaning then you are not living west enough

brunel's masterpiece is getting you warmer but you're not there yet

Milan.

[WTFH]

nice

depends how west you are, can you see the bridge from your place ?

Milan.

Which bridge? If you mean the Tamar Bridge, that people willingly pay to use just to get out of Cornwall, no, I can't see that. If you mean the Clifton Suspension Bridge, no I can't see that one either. Neither can I see the Millau Viaduct nor the Öresund Bridge (as featured in Broen).

should be good, I've heard great things about SA especially the financial accessibility of the wining and dining

We'll be off to our house in Spain for all of July with various children and their partners popping over for a few days.
I've given in this year and arranged for a MiFi hotspot for those that absolutely can't manage with whatever roaming data they have.

that sounds awesome, can we all come and visit #CUKRentaCrowd

Milan.

[NotAllThere]

who's idea was that ?

Milan.

I wuz ganged up on. No, we have to get it done soon because not only does it need doing, but it won't be tax deductable in two years time. Loads of people are trying to get in under the deadline so it's not easy to find someone to do it, let alone choose when!

And... it costs a fortune so maybe we'll just decamp to my son's home while they're away. (And leave our daughter to feed the cat).

Czechia and France, assuming the flights don't get cancelled, or they start asking for £400 fuel suppliments or something. I have at least one Ryan Air booking in my summer plans, and I hate those sons of bitches, but was the only reasonable route to a pre-planned holiday house.

If you lot are all coming down to the West Country, I'd better get out.

South Africa in September for a couple of weeks, that's all we've booked so far.

For the first time in quite a few years - there's been a pandemic and a divorce in between - I'm actually having a holiday this summer. In fact I'm having two!

Early June I shall be visiting Roa Island (Cumbria, I think) with the GF's family as I got tagged on as a plus one.
Then just after the summer school hols, we (the two of us not her family!) are traipsing down to Cornwall. I've not been since clearing out my late parents' house 9 years ago and have been getting increasingly strong urges to visit, but it's much nicer to do with somebody. So I'll get to show her aropund and we'll do a couple of touristy things like Eden Project. Should be great although I haven't driven that far for decades!
