Hi


We are trying to stave of Jan / Feb blues by thinking about booking a holiday somewhere warm for say April / May / June. We would like our own villa / apartment, ideally with garden and/or pool close to beach and town centre but actually outside of the town so it is nice and quiet (we have 2 light sleepers!). Doesn't need to be flash but clean and with all amenities. Not fussed where we go as long as reasonable warm, not too far (max 3 hr flight)and good for families with young kids. Any recommendations of villas or holiday companies people have used would be fab. Thanks

We always use www.ownersdirect.co.uk, which as the name suggests puts you directly in contact with the owner, so no agencies, no hideous "welcome" meetings, nobody trying to sell you day trips etc


Owners are available by email/phone so you can find out extra information like who is the best car hire company and all that kind of practical stuff. We found one family who had a 2 year old boy when our were 3 and 1.5 so we had the added bonus of the house being stuffed full of suitable toys.


Def worth a look x

Hiya, we went to this place south of Naples last year http://www.domuscilento.com/ with a 6months old and it was great. Short walk into town (short, steep hill), nice seaside place with lots of restaurants etc. Nice little beaches too - all in all, we found it perfect. Alternatively, I have heard very good things about this company: www.totstotravel.co.uk, though not used them myself.

We went here in September with our then 16 month old:

which was brilliant. We flew Easyjet into Alicante and it's just under an hour drive from there. It's run by an English couple and they are excellent at catering to families. You have your own appartment in which you can self cater the whole time if you wish, or if you would prefer you just let Sarah know in the morning and they will do lunch and/or dinner. Plus they do baby tea time at 5pm where all the kids (there are only 5 appartments) have tea together (she will puree if they are young), whilst the parents have some beers together. It's very relaxing alough a 10 minute drive from the nearest town and about 25 minutes from the beach. The grounds are lovely though with a sandput, climbing frame and some pigs and goats, which more that kept our one entertained.

    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?
