Summer

[Strawbs]

Looking out the window right one might think it could be summer out there.. the sun is shining and the birds are flying around the dome..

It has made me excited for summer!! Did we talk about having a summer bbq / picnic (SM I know you have been scorned by the picnic organising before)? Cant wait to do another pub crawl in the sun and heat with my flip flops on (or thongs as they are called where I am from).. >:D< :)-D

What are your plans for summer? Any hols planned? In all of this bleakness lets focus on something fab.. I have no passport due the home office STILL having it 3 months down the line so not sure where we will go but I am hoping to get to Greece & Australia (possibly)..

:)):)):)):))

Only in the last few hours or so, I have just confirmed a 10 day trip to Dubai in June! My friend who has split with her fella transferred my name over to his ticket. What a result! She'll have much better time with me anyway!

>:D<

You lucky devil! My friend lives in Dubai but he is coming here for wimbledon so that's not a place I will get to this year... Maybe one day when they dont hate the gayers!! he he

I am hoping for a trip to Australia. However I have based this on very tenuous info.

An Australian friend of mine who lives in Sydney just asked me for my address. I know he and his good lady got engaged a couple of months ago, so I am hoping that he wants my address to send me a wedding invitation.

If this is not the case and he wants my address to send me baby photos I will be very disappointed, cross him off the Christmas card list, and have to go somewhere very exotic instead.*

I'm really hoping I'll be debt free by then so I can zoom off somewhere hot like the Greek Island or somewhere like Corsica or the Balearics.

It's summer in Australia now. Best time to go I reckon.

Careful, Rosie.

They're Australian.

Before you know it, there's a knock on your door, the backpacks are blocking the hallway and they're sleeping on your lounge floor for six weeks - gratis.

South Africa to watch the British Lions.

The first time?

[Bunny19]

Absolutely the first time

[Strawbs]

It might look like summer out there from the office window but I've just been outside for a ciggy and it's still bloody freezing. Brrgghh!

Pushing pram round the park in the sunshine... Scary!

All such lovely ideas... would anyone like to take me along too? I'm not that much bovva ya know :))

[Ladygooner]

I was only thinking this morning at 8am how lovely to be walking to the station in the daylight. Im off to Koh Sammui in April - 11 weeks and counting!

I'm a very very lucky girl and have only just returned from an extended stay on the West Coast (LA / Santa Barbara / Carmel / San Francisco). It's winter there. Basically, what this means is that sometimes you need to put a sweater on over your T-shirt. They think it's cold. They need to come to ED to find out about cold. Bless.

I was gone so long that I desperately started to miss ED. I wanted a monty minor and a decent brand of gin. The first day back I skipped down Lordship Lane like a two year old. Then I ran home and put on a warm vest.

I'm looking for somewhere warm(ish) to go March/April. I'm avoiding anywhere that has the Euro. Dubai sounds good - I'll be watching this thread for holiday ideas.

Funnily enough I was talking about this earlier, I lived in Spain for 2006 and went travelling in 2005 and with the quidlets still being under 20p I'm still not bothered about 'hot abroad' (miss skiing though). So a nice warm english summer in my back garden with and EDF recommended book and my kids/missus ferrying out Stellas sounds bliss...

Bloody Hell it was cold today! Did I spot a flurry of snow down High Holborn? Its MONTHS until my caravan holiday to Weymouth.

I tried to get myself in the Med-mood by having tapas for lunch, but the way the wind whistled under the door caused the tortilla slice to go cold and rubbery.

Will this grey weather and appaling economic news EVER end? I fear not.

I'm going to Iceland on a riding holiday. Possibly early next year, but I'm counting already! 5-7hrs in the saddle a day is going to kill me, but I'll enjoy it!

[Michael Palaeologus]

How are you going to steer a horse round the aisles?

[Kells]

With reins. How else? Silly question!

[Kells]

Sorry Strawbs, I think I may have created some tumbleweed........::o There must be more summer holidays planned!
