Tiers on Tour

[rookiemere]

So following from another thread, this is to talk about our aspirational holiday plans and trips for the coming months.

We have a few things planned, but all cancellable mostly with Scottish back ups. So keen to get away somewhere.

@anon444877 haven't booked anything in Scotland, my dm has a holiday home so we'll just go there if we can't go anywhere else.

It's in Millport

should reminded me I have an old friend whose parents have a holiday home - remembered too late though, next available Oct 30!

I've spent the afternoon looking at holidays. Definitely UK, probably England or north Wales limiting the distances. Last summer we were in Cumbria, as lovely as it is I want to explore elsewhere.

DH is keen to have 2 weeks, so trying to find somewhere to keep us amused for 2 weeks.

I can recommend north Norfolk for anyone looking. It's lovely.

Getting on a boat just feels so much more like going on holiday 😎

Norfolk looks lovely but its a long drive is it not?

Nearer than Cornwall 😂

It's not too bad, we did it with ds when he was just turned 2.

Lots of lodges via Hoseasons that take dogs . After last years debacle Hoseasons have changed their cancellation policy. You can also get a couple of quid off via NHS discount site, it's not a huge discount but buys a crate of beer. One place we go to has a dog shower.

@WouldBeGood I live in Helensburgh. What an ambition it is haha.

We drove to Sherwood forest and it took about 4 and half hours from Stirling and Norfolk would be another couple I think. So I guess it depends on your starting point - Ullapool might be a stretch but from central belt it'd be about 6 ish?

@hilbil21 😂

I’ve never been- if I’m permitted to go you could advise on the sights?

To be fair it is a nice place to visit. I'm just sick of the sight of it right now lol. Happy to recommend nice places to eat etc if you make it

Thank you 😊

Happy to recommend nice places to eat etc if you make it smile

Nice places to eat. At this point that is anywhere other than your house or car! :o

@WaxOnFeckOff Our stats are level 1 realms just now. Who knows what could happen lol.

I'm not nice or smart enough to work for the nhs! But I do like Sherwood.

Oh also you can use Tesco vouchers for Hoseasons or cottages.com.

I've actually found cottages.com quite helpful for rescheduling our holiday - third attempt is 26th June, 3 households in the Lake District, think it's about 50/50 if it will happen this time. They're sold out for Easter 2022, don't think I can face Easter 2020s holiday for Summer 2022.

Anyone find that their holiday has been rescheduled so many times, that they're already bored with the prospect of it, even though they've not actually been on them yet.

I just want to go to the brilliant Turkish restaurant in Cockermouth.

Unlikely sentence of the day 😂

Ooh our unlikely to happen large family holiday is just outside Cockermouth. What's the name of the restaurant?

Do you think it would be a bit over optimistic to book a Jet2 package deal to Tenerife for October?
Having a look and the prices are pretty good at the minute, it would be so nice to have a foreign trip to look forward t.

Oooh... are they @rookiemere? That’s tempting me too

it's called Aspava.
