Would recommend La Palma. One of the smaller islands. Definitely not tacky and not that touristy. Lots of volcanic mountains and banana plantations. Has a very Spanish feel. We went with a 3 year old and she had a great time. The only downside is that the beaches are not great and black (volcanic sand). But we stayed in a hotel with a lovely pool so we didn't miss it.

On the subject of holidays (sorry to hijack thread a little) how does everyone feel about taking young babies to very hot places? We're thinking of going on holiday this summer and have looked into one of the balearic islands around June time, temp will be Mid to Late 20s, how do little ones cope with this? Obviously will cover in suncream and wear hat/have sun umbrella/keep out of midday sun etc but do they cope ok?

emza78 - go for it. You are talking about a sensible approach to the heat. They cope by having a brilliant holiday with their family and love being in the sea / pool outdoors.


The worse thing I have encountered about hot holidays is toddlers freaking out at the feel of sand beneath their feet and some interfering cow saying to my hubbie 'I hope that child has got suncream on'.

hi we went to lanzarote and stayed at this villa link to villa

it was amazing, the drive way is off road over a big hill and you would need a car as it is about 10 mins drive to the nearest town but its fantastic, amazing views, beautiful villa.


the picture of the back of the villa with all of the little walkways is all within the villas land and you cant get out of it its all gated so our daughter loved it and felt so safe letting her play in the grounds.


everything you would need, microwave, washer etc. Pool is lovely, lanzarote had a law passed that all buildings had to be under 3 stories high ans painted white so you will find no high rise blocks and has a lovely village feel all over the island.

      All go on Lordship Lane..

      By thfc2001 · Posted

      Was planning to come on here to ask if anyone might know which celeb/royal came through Lordship Lane yesterday - was on my way up to Spurs, on bus at the roundabout by the EDT when some whistling police cyclists pulled the traffic to the side of the road to allow a biggish range rover to shoot past, on the way up towards Dog Kennel Hill. Could only make out two, maybe middle-aged, men in the front before it passed. Mildly hysterical lady on pavement was laughing/screeching with her friend that they were desperately trying to find out who it was. Had more reason to post after this lunchtime's experience. Had just got to bus stop opposite the M&S by the station when some mini cooper thing bombed through the traffic, swerving across to cut up another car to get up the hill, before two or three police cars followed about 20 seconds behind. Said mini cooper thing then reappeared coming the other way, beeping its horn to get other cars out the way before it bombed up what I think was Elsie Road, with police cars now on both sides of the road by Maxin trying to stop traffic getting in the way/half the speeding car. Bit more than I had bargained for when I set out/want in local area! Stay careful out there folks, this place is getting scarier...

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By ctovey · Posted

      The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose.
