St Lucia - 10 days. Arranged on the only Saturday morning I had in Plymouth before my ship departed on patrol until 2 weeks before wedding when I discovered the hotel I had booked earlier had been swept away in a hurricane and slipped down the hillside into the sea. It being 1988 there was no internet, 24/7 booking options and no Last Minute.com and the travel agents in Devon all shut at 13.00 on Saturdays. An interesting planning problem.

1 night at King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill... we were married on my Due Date. My labour started the next morning, baby born that evening!


Had we all the money and time, I would go back to Hawaii. I was there for a short holiday ~10 years ago. Skip the touristy stuff, find the hidden treasures.


Husband would probably choose west coast of Costa Rica, or Zanzibar, both places he's been and loved.


We have friends in Sri Lanka, which sounds great, but never been there ourselves.


I'd say any where warm and coastal sounds nice, considering the weather here this summer. There's a heatwave in Texas, very nice beaches there too. xx

Ours was late Sept/ early October - Zanzibar for a week - glorious hotel in the north then a few nights in Stone Town. Sea plane to Pemba to remote hotel with diving etc....awesome. Often people do a week safari in Tanzania then a week Zanzibar which is an option.

Italy, 10 days. Had a long weekend in Milan and then an internal flight to Sorrento. My husband booked the whole thing as a surprise. For us it was perfect, plenty of culture and things to do in Milan then a restful week in Sorrento enjoying beautiful coast and the best food and wine. Bliss!

Crete. Well it was in 1980! Didn't go to Malia.

I spent 2 days in bed sick as when we got a puncture going through the mountains, we had to wait for a local to rescue us (tools were missing from the crappy hire car). He gave us some lovely grapes from the nearby field, but I ate lots before washing them - got a load of pesticide I guess. New wife thought she'd be taking me home in a box!

The Kent marshes. On a converted Thames sailing barge. Below decks, below land, below a weeping sky. Washed out greys, browns and grey-browns. For company only the curlew and the sandpiper, the teal and the shoveler. Empty masts ghosted through raised reed beds, the only verticals in that crushed space between earth and heaven.


Inspired, we mused on the relation of the horizontal to the perpendicular. Several times.


After, I took her in my arms and said, "We'll need to get to Spar before 8:30, or we'll have no milk for the morning."

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      Highly recommend James - fixed the electric fault in our kitchen and was punctual and reasonably priced.

      Shredded paper recycling

      By Sue · Posted

      That's very very clever! Ah, ok. So I just put it in the green bin? Probably better in a black bin bag so it doesn't blow all over the street/recycling centre, but then what happens when they burn it in the black bag? And how do they "get energy from it" when it burns? Is it turned into electricity or something? I went on a tour of the recycling centre years ago, but I don't remember them talking about that! Thanks, I have far too much, it would take years! I do have two "daleks" on my allotment but I would need to store the shredded paper somewhere before using it, and I really want it out of the house. It's taking up more room than the boxes of folders did before 🤣

      Family holiday - south of France - by train?

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      Agreed, it absolutely is, but not as easy to get these days.  We are going to Narbonne next month by train and I tried almost every permutation to avoid going to Paris, but to no avail.

      It's wood so you can compost it. Probably best to use it like grass cuttings sprinkled into other stuff to let in air and water.
