Well we're not

We're away over Easter visiting family in Norfolk. Our main holiday will be in August though.

Some will ,some wont
How longs a piece of string 🤷‍♀️

It feels like fewer people than usual are away this year - both thinking about people at work and DS’ friends at school.

around here everyone seems to be away

Everyone who has family elsewhere

We are, but first time we’ve ever gone away over Easter. We’re just going to the next county over to visit where we used to live when dc were little.

how are you assessing "everyone"?
Just some people you know not being wherever you are at the same time?
Roads being quieter?
Holiday clubs for kids half-empty?

I assume not absolutely everyone has gone away, but it’s a good time to go away if you have limited annual leave, as there are two bank holidays in a row - so you get a longer holiday using less annual leave.

We’re not going away at Easter or at all this year. Don’t have the money so there’ll be lots of pottering around our local area during annual leave/achool holidays. Luckily we live 5 minutes from a lovely beach!
