If things go as planned (where's that bit of wood to touch?) this year will be first in 5 years that we have freerein to holiday as we wish. Gf is very keen to make up for lost time. Cornwall in april, NW Scotland for june, Glastonbury for november are pretty much certain, from there it's as much as poss, seems like most nights whilst watching nature programs I get told "we've got to go there as well", I also have a suspission that unusualy for us school holidays are on calendar as well.

4 Weeks in France April/May

2 Weeks Hastings to Torbay

2 Weeks Western Isles.

Couple of mid weeks in Naburn Lock York

Mid week Overbrook, Thornton le Dale.

 

We may be able to fit a few mid weeks in the Peak District and in Wales.

 

It's great being retired is it not.

March-April: a week in the isle of Wight -- never been there before! Perhaps because it's so close to us -- thanks for the idea Andy & Marion Stothert! (The vineyard is a 'must-see'!)

 

Late April: a week - ten days in Herefordshire. Ancient castles, the wonderful medieval church at Kilpeck, great pubs, etc.,etc.

 

May-June: Ireland for three weeks -- Ring of Kerry & birding on Great skellig, then to County Clare and the beautiful Burren and its spring flowers.

 

In between? Birds at Slimbridge -- this week, before they migrate -- a night or two ( maybe up to 4 nights) on the somerset levels -- Birding again -- Westhay, Ham Wall and the hawk & Owl sanctuary.

 

Then -- the world (well good old U.K. at least!) is 'our oyster' -- isn't retirement wonderful?!

Leaving for Portugal on Sunday 20th March 2011. Have a one way Ferry crossing with no fixed return date, expect to be away until at least the end of May maybe into June. Then in September a 4 week trip to France.

Will still have some UK breaks but nothing planned, we use the MH all year have had two long w/e in Scarborough and one at Rowntree Park, York this year.

Up to the western isles for a Month starting May, Calmac 'Hopscotch' No.25 only £287 (a less generous trip in 2007 cost us £370 !) Thank goodness for RET (road equivalent tarif) Barra,the Uists,Skye,Harris & Lewis, then up to Durness , Cape Wrath, across to Thurso ,John a groats, Brora, Kinlochewe, Onich, then down to the lakes,then back to see the 'kids' near Brum,

Home for the school holidays (Fishguard) then away 'Somwhere' ? when they all go back. Ray

 

'Birding' is our favourite pastime: Sea Eagles,Golden Eagles, Snowy Owl on North Uist(if we are 'lucky' again ?), Corncrakes of course , Arctic Terns and lots of others we hope. *-)

Already had two trips away in van. At end of May we are going to Wales for 1 week, June we have a Rally with the Motorhome 365 members and in July/August our 4 week tour of Europe (Bavaria this time around). we will probably squeeze in a few weekenders between now and October as well.

We had plans for 5 main trips- covering about 25 sites.

Sadly Rosie had to go into hospital in May for removal of an ovarian cyst and having just recovered from that a Mammogram showed that she had a cancerous lump in her breast.

So at the moment she is back in hospital.

We managed to get away twice.

I have to say how very helpful the Camping and Caravanning Club have been in refunding our deposits when I have had to cancel- and the private sites are holding them for future bookings.
