First holiday I recall was in blackpool. I caught my finger in the train door. That's what I remember most.

last holiday was to a small Greek Island (population 250 people) that I had been going to for 20 years, two months a year. It was my spiritual home, I like to think.

next holiday? Not going to happen. I'm too infirm to travel alone these days. And even if a kind person were willing to take me, it wouldn't be the same.

But I have so very many lovely memories of the people and still am in touch with a few, so it's still good.

@Crushed23 Halki.

I understand it's changed since I was last there, more day trippers from Rhodes.

Good for the local economy, but bad for the island feel.
