Hi,


we have a week booked off at the end of September to go away. We are thinking somewhere like Portugal or Majorca - still nice and warm, but not too far. our daughter will be about 21 months then and I will be 6 months pregnant.


I have seen the following two places recommended on the holiday review section of Mumsnet. I really like the look of them and wondered if anyone knows of anything similar in Portugal or Majorica or similar country? The first one is uber expensive and the second one is mid France so I don't think the weather would be reliable in late September.

The aspects that appeal are that they are small and appear to be friendly, family run places. I like the idea of having the self catering option without being tied to it all the time. There would be the opportunity to meet other families, ie not stuck in a self catering villa by ourselves somewhere for a whole week, but we would still have our own space. You would get to know the owners who do the babysitting etc.


I have been searching for somewhere like this in Portugal but can only find big resort type places, which I don't really fancy.


Many thanks!

this was self catering, and the lovely women who ran it would pop fresh vegetables from the farm on our table!


Once again we would meet up with other families in the evening (from all over the world) at night, drink a glass of wine and watch the children play ......


You even got your own little reserved spot around the fabulous pool area!


You definately need a car for here, but absolutely beautfiful ....

Okay, so this isn't exactly what you are after but we just came back from this place in Mallorca and really enjoyed it and I still cannot get over what good value it was. The house was lovely, pool was lovely and just a 10 minute drive into Puerto Pollensa with nice restaurants right on the beach (we sat and ate tapas one night while our 2 year old frolicked on the beach in front of us with loads of other children). We BBQed at the house most nights. House has 3 bedrooms with one totally set up for kids(bunk beds plus a single bed plus a travel cot). You could always bring another family with you to make it more fun?!

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
