Hi all. My husband and I are looking at going on a cheap holiday with our 11 month old in February - a cheap last minute deal ideally. We were thinking of going to the Canaries (nice weather, short flight, no jet lag!), but have no idea where to start in terms of which holiday company/which resort/which island. Does anyone have any advice for us?

Travel City Direct are usually really good for cheap family holidays and as everyone on here will know I've been ranting and raving about their floridababy.co.uk website and all tips on travelling with children so they're defintiely child focussed. Not sure about the last minute deals but it's worth a look? They do Florida, Caribbean and Egypt I think.


Good luck x

We have just got back from Fuerteventura with our 11 month old. It was lovely, about 24 degrees every day and very family friendly. We booked direct with ryanair - they were fine and on time - and booked a self catering apartment through booking.com. All very straightforward. We got a taxi from the airport but it's very easy to book car hire too. There is a hertz there for example. The two best resorts for families are caleta de fuste and correlejo. Beaches are lovely, restaurants are very welcoming and it is generally very relaxing.
I second fueteventura - we had a brilliant week there last March with our then 2-year old. Really child friendly and a lovely vibe. We booked through Thomas Cook for Costa Coletta and got an all inclusive ridiculously cheap. Yes it was a resort and a wee bit cheesy but there was loads of families there and I would go back in a heartbeat.

    • Yes they do, but that is not the core tenet of representative democracy. At that level, we are voting for a parliamentary representative, irregardless of whether parties exist or not. It's why candidates can stand as independents. 
    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors.
