Sorry for the shameless AIBU post, but I want to make this count as it likely won't happen again and I'd like as many suggestions as possible!
DH and DCs are taking a week away together to participate in a shared hobby. Im not interested in that hobby and won't be going with them.
I have some annual leave I can book off at the same time that they go away. I don't want to be at home because I can't switch off from home stuff. I'll just be cleaning and reorganising and then feel pissed off with myself.
So I need to plan a trip of my own!
I don't want to go with any other person. No family, no friends...Just me and the dog. And somewhere in the UK.
I've had a couple of bereavements in close succession of each other recently and it's knocked me sideways. I think a trip on my own could be the tonic I need.
I want nature. Beautiful landscapes and scenery. Fresh air. Relaxation and a chance to just breathe without chaos and noise. Nice walks. Maybe even a hot tub I can sit alone in with a glass of wine and a book.
Im not well-off and have a very basic run-of-the-mill 'working class' type of job. But I do have a small inheritance from one of the relatives who passed away that could fund this short trip. Another reason I really want to make it count.
So I expect you lovely lot are all well travelled and can hopefully give me some great suggestions of places to go, travel companies, accommodation or sites etc? Anywhere that would suit a solo traveller looking to decompress and get away from the race with a pooch in tow.
Any links to accompany your suggestions would also be gratefully received.
Thank you 🙏
