My favourite places

Thankyou so much for the link Che and I will certainly take a peek.the description of your parents house is wonderful,clean air,sea brezes,and shells,oh it all sounds like a fairytale.

Sounds good to me

Now I can tell you a tale here Humbugmy sweetness,every sunday ,if the weather would allow,I would bundle the kids into their anorakes and wellington bots and off we would go,they were only small,but god love them they used to walk for miles lol,we always used to take a little picninc,and a few goodies,we used to have an ice cream maybe if the shop was open too.They look back on these walks now as being a form of torture!but lol there was one very good thing about it all,the excercise made them feel tired,so when we got home it was a hot bath,then tea,a little television and then off to bed,oh those were the days Humbug.Did you like your walks or were they torturous?

Well lol sticky toffee,my children more than likely feel the same way as you,that I was a little bit of a hard taskmaster!

At the time I think I would have definately of said it was toture! I really miss that feeling though of getting home, sitting down and my feet aching but my body was full of lovely fresh air I think that was the best bit at the time was the getting home!!

Hi ruby actually I have never gone to glastonbury Festival either and really have never wanted to..the reason I go there is as I am a pagan it is for the rituals etc at certain times of year also it is a very spiritual palce with lots of history and legends...the oldest pub/hotel in the UK is there and being on ley lines their is an awsome amount of energy...it is a fantastic place..littleowl

Ive been to the glastonbry field Owl,where thet have the festival,but ive not ever been to the festival itself.my nephews ahve recently been to the Reading festival,they thought it was fab,lots of good bands there too they said

Both destinations sound good to me Frankie,you never ever forget the first holiday that you spent with friends,it was the first taste of independance,fabulous.

Olango island,and where abouts in the world is that,ive not heard of that island.but it sounds lovely.The good places we have been to always stay in our memories,the good family holidays,the picnics ,the walks in the woods ,exploring nature,picking the bluebells and taking them home as though they were some exotic flower lol.

Yes Bobby lol there are some who would say it was a little bit of an odd hobby ,going visiting graveyards!but I know there are many people who love to do that kind of day out,and look at the heritage of our country.There are some who like to take `rubbings` from the stones ,a smilar thing to brass rubbings I suppose.But I myself like looking at old church yards,and places of worship,they are fascinating.I also love to look at the old organs that played the church music,lovely thoughts here.

Hello and yes it sound svery tempting!but believe it or not unusually for a female im not very much of a shopper,I would rather sight see,or look at a garden or a place of interest or beauty rather than go shopping.Now we have just spent time staying with my sister in law and her husband,and she is a shopaholic,self confessed mind you,she says she feels hard done by if she isnt able to visit the shops regyularly,and seeing as she is very near to Dundee where the shops are excellent then she certainly isnt deprived lol,we had to spend time looking in the local shops and lo and behold,the object of her desire was there,hanging on the rack,a pale green cotton dressing gown,now had that been me I would have been asking myself did I really need another dressing gown,but no,she was adamant that this was going t obe bought,it was to hang beside the other three dressing gowns she already had!!!

Lovely to hear from you Janna,yes there are some lovely places out there in that big wide world to visit.Its wonderful how seeing something can have suc ha profound effect on you,it can heighten you emotions,and make you feel elated,and then there are other destinations that make you feel a little sad,or maybe a little romantic.but im so glad that you enjoyed your visit.

Baguio must be avery good place to go as you are the second person to have recommended it,a popular holiday destination I should think.I do know how you associate food and drink with a particular holiday,we have time and time again re visited places and returned to the same restaurants to eat the same delicious fare ,often the owners have recognised us as having been there before,and on one particular occasion it was our anniversary and the owner brough out two glasses each containing a flaming sambuco,Oh it was hot and fiery,but delicious to drink,but you wouldnt need to overdo it with them though.

Well Gracie it sounds superb,but my holiday destinations arent as exotic as yours lol we have to try to stick to a holiday budget now!we have had two weeks away this year,but they havent been weekes where we have actually chosen the holiday,they have been times when we have had to visit family for good reasons.But saying that we have semi enjoyed both weeks ,so that was an added bonus!

Suprise suprise!!well good to hear you enjoyed singapore so much ,I have enever been but I would go on your recommendations alone .

Blackppo .ohhh Jerry that brings back some memories,we went many years ago,just Mr Ruby and myself,we stayed in a spotless bed and breakfast,which I have to admit was first classBut then on day two we decided to go and explore,well I wanted to go and buy a book,it was a particular book I was looking for,a poetry book,well we walked for what seemed to be miles before wqe could find any shops at all!eventually we managed to find a few shops,and there to my utter delight was a W H Smiths newsagents shop,and I went book hunting.wE SAW THE ILLUMINATIONS,THEY WERE VERY ENJOYABLE,AND WE WENT TO SEE A SHOW ON THE PIER,BUT IT WAS A LITTLE RIBALD FOR MY TASTE,BUT THEY HAD ISSUED A WARNING BEFOREHAND,BUT THERE WERE PARTS OF IT THAT MADE ME laugh..ohh that caps button is a real pain!!But im so happy you enjoy going off to Blackppol,its part of Great Britains heritage!

Hello Swat and welcome to Mylot,hoew lovely to meet you,i hope you will enjoy your visits here,I have been a little busy to write too much lately,but im trying to catch up a little now.I am sure Goa is an amazingly beautiful holiday destination,there have been many good reports about it.

We used ti holiday in Devon and cornwall a lot when the children were small,and those were holidays that were always unforgettable,often it rained in Devon,but the holiday was still good.We used to caravan,and therefore we were on a holiday camping site,there was always something for thr children to do on those sites.Then in the evening they loved nothing better than top go to the childrens disco`s etc,they were good times,times of fun and laughter,though lol you needed a large wallet to take with you!

Swimming and sun sounds good to me Ralph,in fact it sounds wonderful lol ,ive not heard of Baguio city,where is that please?but im presuming its in a very hot country !
