Did he laugh CLKD ? Good job you went a looking for him 

Our autumn break will be for our 30th anniversary. Not got any ideas as yet but sure inspiration will strike soon.

I have a horror of being locked in a loo, when out I really don't like using them.

[CLKD]

No he didn't laugh - he'll get lots of mileage out of the experience telling others 

For our 30th anniversary we went to Dornie not far from the Isle of Skye ……… self catering (Kilimanjaro, bungalow)

[honeybun]

I think we will go for a week but have asked the kids to come with us for a few days so I have gone from looking for a little place to a three bed place. Did not want to celebrate without them.

   we get our 40th next August  - already wondering where to go.

How far do you want to travel Honeybun?  South of the Border?  Quiet walks/sitting or hubbub of a town?  Hotel or self-catering? Some hotels have self-catering attached ……….. so you and hubby could do the self-catering bit and the children stay in the hotel ………...

We love Brighton - 3 hours at the most from us.  We also love the Bamburgh area, lovely Castles, good eateries; we stay near Rothbury which is a lovely market town.  Alnwick Gardens is worth a visit as is Holy Island.  Hadrians Wall area is lovely in the sunshine!  Tales of the Reivers etc.. 

The Cotwolds, 1 hour drive from us is lovely.  Stow on the Wold, Burford, Bibury; Stamford is nice and relaxing.
Gloucester Quays has been re-modelled into offices and flats leaving the huge warehouses complete with Trade Advertising on the brickwork.  Frampton Upon 7 is a lovely old very long village of great age.

I'm already planning my 60th  birthday, in 2 years time. I would like to go to NY. As for 40th anniversary, that's 3 years time. Centre parks springs to mind, grandkids would love it!

[honeybun]

It won't be far as both kids will not want to drive far for just a couple of days. I have seen a self catering place where there is the option of having a catering company in to do a special meal. Trouble is I can't remember where I saw it

Ooh that sounds good. Friend in America, her husband got a chef in to cook for her 50th.

We are going to NY next year.  Don't like flying but I don't want to get older and wished I'd done more with my life so I make myself go.

Might be worth asking the people you are renting the place off?

This year I have been Glamping, to Glastonbury and only other planned holiday is Glasgow (for Commonwealth Games)

Hope to have a relaxing break Sept/Oct time - probably a cottage somewhere in the UK but might work on OH to go overseas!

[CLKD]

Glastonbury leaves me cold ………. my sister sent me a Festival Postcard, how anyone finds their ways around beats me 

Essex is now on the list!

[honeybun]

Thought you were heading my way CLKD ?

Still looking for a suitable place for October. Struggling a bit at the moment. Sure I will find something.

  …… too many places to visit, too little time!

Where'd you fancy HoneyBun?

[Joyce]

Killin on Loch Tay is lovely HB. Maybe too far for you though. We had a lodge for a week when kids were young. Plenty places to eat. We even hired bikes for a day.

Just discovered, by fluke, that my hand luggage will be very minimal when I travel to London, prior to holiday in St Lucia. Easyjet  have reduced sizes. Soon we won't be allowed hand luggage. Fine if they stick to it. But number if times I've flown well within airline limits & folk have got on with suitcases as hand luggage. Makes me mad! OK moan over.
