North Wales says Croeso, if you can't get to go abroad. Don't forget your thermals though ;-)

There were times when I was a kid where our family holidayed in the Mediterranean, there were other times we holidayed in Britain. I’d didn’t care either way. We still reminisce about Bournemouth or Newquay as much as we do Malta or Tenerife.

Great childhood memories are not dependent on a plane, Spanish waitresses and San Gria. It’s about quality time with the family, no matter where it is.

Children 30 years ago didn’t have a pandemic to live through. And there’s a difference between a pandemic that is far from being under control, and seasonal returns of viruses that we have mass global vaccinations for each year.

Well put a question of balance to quote Justin Hayward for a second.

We will have to live with this virus for a while and there will be others but with goodwill some discipline which is a good tool to have in your armoury in all facets of life and decency will come out wiser than before.

Hopefully we will appreciate what we took for granted a little more for a little longer.

Very few people want to be miserable all their lives and make life as miserable for others as they perceive theirs as they find themselves on their own very quickly.

Come the summer you should be able to have a holiday in this country. Your little girl will then have loads of happy memories, happy memories that most of us old farts had in the 60's/ 70's. You don't have to fly to Spain to get a happy memory. This country is beautiful. Explore it.

How do you know bob that we'll be more safe to travel around this country than for example Cyprus or Crete. There is nothing written that a holiday will offer more protection in Blighty than overseas. We don't exactly have a great track record of compliance and as we type away in a full lockdown, the naughty ones are out and about mass protesting and congregating by the thousand.

I will check the auntie nearer the time and evaluate % cases per 100,000 and as an addendum a countries Modus Operandi. If with all the available information we do not deem it safe, then we shall not travel. At the moment the rates are ridiculously high so I will not be availing of high street shopping, getting my nails done or venturing into a busy beer garden until I see improved data.

Not that it makes a jot of difference at the moment, but Mauritius was removed from our 'red list' last week along with Portugal

Ok I missed Mauritius being taken off the list, hopefully the poster might get their chance, because it's fabulous Island.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I moved my Seychelles holiday from May to mid October and saved £700.
No problem rebooking with the resort or Etihad Airways.
Will it happen ? Who knows.
As for a UK holiday I’m off to McScotland in June hopefully.
Supply and demand suggests very expensive home based holidays this year.

Our booking agent for our rental has just, 2 weeks ago, upped the cost of the high season by 50% and the mid season either side by 30%...happy days for me anyway. Huge demand and nowhere near the supply they say....

Well COVID is never going to go away. If the jab is 90% effective that’s decent odds. So for you, this is it now, forever? Work hard for my holiday, didn’t go last year, will hopefully be going this year, my little girl is young once, and she is being f denied happy memories that lots of other children who happened to be born 30-40 years earlier than her got.

Your child will love a beach in cornwall just as much

I really feel sorry for everyone who works in this sector
The government's seem to have completely forgotten about them.

I slipped my 2020 Florida week to October this year.... Not looking positive is it... We have a timeshare that we bought in the old Airtours days... Fantastic resort but we've done it so many times now (never exchanged it) that we'll probably get rid at some point soon. Unless we can get an American to buy it I imagine we'll have to give it back to the current operator Bluegreen...
