Hi all,


We are thinking about a bit of winter sun in Feb now the weather has turned gloomy.

For the past two years we have been to Playa Blanca in Lanzerote which we really enjoyed but next year we are looking to venture to a new island.

I am looking for location suggestions. We have a 2yo and 4yo and so looking for a low key resort, nice beach, few places to eat, some nearby day trips etc

We would prefer to rent a villa so don't need suggestions of specific accomodation just areas to go to (unless you can recommend a villa!)


Thanks in advance.

We stayed in Fuerteventura near Corralejo which is a small and very sweet resort. Was before kids but imagine it would have all you need for winter sun break, it is a windy island which I appreciated at the time as was very pregnant! Island was lovely would definitely go back and would stay in same accommodation if we could as it was super reasonable and clean / well-equipped. Might not suit you though as it was ten mins drive to beach:

We had a lovely holiday this summer in Puerto de Mogan in Gran Canaria. It is a pretty fishing town with a nice beach. We have 2 boys who are older than your children but there were loads of younger children there too.

We stayed self catering in these apartments:

They have a number of pools and were in the process of building a new one which would be ready by now i think.


Booked through Thomas Cook but we did not use them for any of the excursion type stuff.


Feel free to PM me if you have questions.

We really liked the playa flamingo part of playa blanca on Lanzerote. Playa Flamingo is a lovely quiet beach with a board walk with lots of little restaurants. We stayed in a James Villa's villa, can't remember it's name sorry. The Playo Flamingo resort (thomas cook I think) looked nice too, just behind the beach. Lots of easy outings from there, make sure you get up to wineries!!

If anyone is looking for a villa in lanzarote my mum has 2 she rents out. We go there every year, the house is great if you have kids as it's very much a home from home. It has sky to, Internet and she can supply high chairs, travel cots etc

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
