Time for yet another holiday with hf holidays, but in the Cotswolds this time. The hotel is based at Bourton-on-the-Water, which is quite an easy drive for me. I even broke it up by stopping for lunch with my niece and family, so I did have a bit of time to play with my great-niece…

Have a holiday based on Dartmoor
A walking holiday with hf holidays – 3 nights this time. This is the one to replace the singing holiday and lasted from Wednesday to Saturday. So on Wednesday I drove to the house near Haytor on Dartmoor. I keep forgetting that my car is not keen on hills, but it does make it –…
Get Your Holiday Cancelled
Two weeks before I was due to go, I had a letter from HF Holidays saying that my “Anyone Can Sing” holiday was cancelled, as not enough people believed it! Well, they actually said that some people had cancelled and so only 4 people were booked and that number was not viable for the holiday. That…
Have a family Christmas
I went to Cambridge, to my brother’s, for Christmas. I was invited as they all apparently behave better if I am there and don’t argue so much! I don’t think they did argue – well not early in the morning as I was usually one of the first up, but they could have done after…
Go to a reunion
Forty years since we graduated, so our “gang” met up for an even more special reunion. We have been meeting up once a year for several years now, but this time we decided to go to Bath. The hotel was booked several months ago as it was not sensible to hope for last minute deals,…
Holiday in France
Last year, my bother asked if I would like to go on holiday with his family in France. Having decided that 2 weeks was too long, I had to work out if I could get there or get back without too much difficulty. This turned out to be easier (for me) than I thought it…
To Cornwall with “Wessex Warblers”
Early rising is not my thing, so having to get up in time for a taxi to pick me up at 6.40 for departure from the coach park was not good! The two coaches left soon after 7.00 and met up with the third coach carrying the rest of the “Wessex Warblers” at Exeter services….
Holiday in Lulworth Cove
When retired we can have as many holidays as we want/can afford! And they don’t have to be in school holidays, either – Yeah! If one is only a volunteer, we tell the people in charge when we are going and nothing has to be booked as it does if one has a job. My…
