I have been saying for weeks booking a foreign holiday this year is pure folly. For example Portugal came off the red list but we still aren't allowed to travel there. Put your time money and efforts into booking a staycation before the costs get too much to afford

Done it for September, 3 generations (4 households) in a holiday house in SW Wales, we can even isolate there if need be, as there are 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, 2 weeks for £2.3k.

It's not my first choice for a holiday place in normal times, but I know I'll enjoy this one as we haven't been all together since Christmas 2019.

Last September me, my wife, son and partner and my daughter went to a static caravan site in Bournemouth where we go to every year - it was all legal at the time, all Covid secure - we didn't eat out we didn't go to any pubs and met friends out in the open on beaches or having a walk wearing masks or being socially distanced. Looking back it seems surreal and such a privilege to be honest.

We go there at least once a year and as we had worked out foreign travel was never going to be an option last year we booked twice with the June break being cancelled but we were able to roll it over until September this year ( at no extra cost Billy Bargain if you ask me ) and I think/hope/suspect that will be a goer. Have told the kids and partners they are all welcome to come and its the most anticipated holiday in years - I think for me vaccines and falling rates aside just going away again will be the cork out of the bottle !

Lampeter is lovely - remember travelling through there a few years back and wondering why it was still 1965 outside lol. Proper old world charm.

Looking forward to a late/early christmas celebration :), it's actually my parents diamond wedding anniversary also, so I just hope the weather is not welsh, so we can have plenty of BBQ's in the lovely grounds.

Everybody can go do their own thing by day, but we can have some family time together in the evenings, I suspect there will be a fairly high wine and food bill.

sorry to swear mate but the anticipation of this brings a fucking tear to my eye - please, please get your jabs make this happen - anti-vaxxers please go to Beachy Head and jump - the rest of us want to get on with life.

Just my daughter, her boyfriend, and my lads girlfriend to get done, but we should all be at least one, and most of us the second by then, and I very much doubt that there will be restrictions on movement in September.

I'll be honest and say I wish we were all going somewhere tropical instead, but I'll be grateful for this lovely place in Wales this year.

Honest mate for now just somewhere away hopefully with some sun will be really enjoyed. The tropical sun will be back some day but to wake up somewhere away from home- breakfast then go out somewhere where you don't live will be bliss I hope we all enjoy !!
