Help holiday ideas with 8 and 12 year of


Recommended Posts

we usually go to Spain each year in the summer to stay with relatives. This year my children are complaining it is too boring and they want to go somewhere where they can meet other children and take part in activities without their boring parents!! Am looking for suggestions. Husband and I like a bit of comfort so not keen on camping, or at least not in a tent. Also would like some guaranteed sun.

Thanks

We used to take ours to La Garangeoire Campsite in St Julien Des Landes in the Vendee (and before that to L'Etang de La Breche near Saumur in the Loire) - we camped but they have mobile homes/chalets as well - we went with Eurocamp but you can book direct as well- they have kids clubs pony trekking archery etc loads of things for children to do and lots of other children around. They are both Castels campsites so they are a bit of a cut above the "cram them in " campsites that you can find in France.

    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
    • Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geolocation speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
    • Another recommendation for Half Moon- my youngest daughter attended and it was by far the best nursery we’ve ever experienced. The teachers are just wonderful and they care so much for the children (who, in return, love them to bits). There’s also a very low staff turnover, so there’s real stability and continuity for the children. My daughter left each day so happy and proud to show me what she’d learnt. It’s amazing!
    • Did you take the car number? Otherwise the council wil have to look through it for an address.
