How many times are you able to go away in a year? I so much enjoy travelling am always thinking of my next adventure, of course it does not always happen, I think anyone that has a holiday home and is able to escape the winter here are really lucky!14-10-2011, 03:25 PM

Re: Breaks and holidays
Oh boy, I'd love to get away! But I have SO MANY SCHOOL bills for my 2 children, right now is not possible. We usually go to the beach and stay for a week. Last summer was the first summer we didn't do anything. Things are just too much money and we have lots of bills. I do however, look forward to getting away again sometime..but more, I'd love for it just to be some quiet time spent with my husband with no worries of what my kids are up to. So what we do is get up early on the weekends and sneak some time away by going to a place alone to have breakfast. We are home before our teenage kids are even up! So, I suppose my "holiday home" can be anywhere I can spend alone time with my best friend.

Re: Breaks and holidays
Not been anywhere this year. Like to go away with all the family, somewhere sunny.It is nice to go away with my husband. Just for a few days, without anyone asking you to do this or that for them (kids).
We also sneak of on a Saturday morning, go shopping and have a bit of dinner together. Then back home to whatever is awaiting us.

Re: Breaks and holidays
Regular holidays each year don't bother me. I like little breaks. We live in such a lovely county and it is easy to get away somewhere nice for a couple of days or so, which is enough for me. If I go away (which I rarely do nowadays) I like it to be a big holiday - for a couple of months or more and far away from home. I can't be doing with laying about on a beach relaxing - I need to be going somewhere, exploring and seeing something interesting. Having said that I went up to Scotland this year for a week (interesting, but we didn't go far enough up to the highlands) and I think it would have been better to stay in Cumbria rather than go further up to Ayrshire.

Re: Breaks and holidays
Circumstances mean no holidays for me for the time being
Have done quite a lot of travelling mainly overseas over the years though and before I moved to Cumbria I always went away in the UK with the dogs which we loved. The nearest I get to a holiday these days is the odd day out in the Lake District which I am very happy to do.
oh and a few days with family in Essex at Christmas

Re: Breaks and holidays
Same as Marian.....circumstances prevent us from taking holidays. Yet there are so many lovely places to visit here, so we take the odd day out now and then.
Have travelled a fair bit in the past so not unhappy about it, and OH doesn't like to fly anyway.
