My son and his wife really enjoy camping but tis not for me, I cant understand why anyone would give up their good comfty bed to go and sleep rough in the middle of a field .....Carol what an adventure..lolol :-D

This thread reminded me of a school holiday back when my children were young.

We pitched a tent in the back garden, we cooked on bbq & I slept out there with them.

one day im coming to OZ, but im not mucking out no goats! lol

I would LOVE to stay on your goat farm Mick !!!! Especially when those cute babies are about !!!!!!!! THAT would be the girl's dream holiday !!!!!!!!!

Ta Stray.....one day I may just take you up on that ! x

Who wants a three week holiday on a romantic goat farm?

(Then maye I can have a flamin holiday!)


xxxxx mick

i will gladly give you my house and move in mums whn you do muffers, :-D :-D

I love SKI'ers Det.....I just wish more folk would do it ..all power to your elbow lol.

Lovely long dog walks cost nowt.....and as a family that's what we seem to do the most of....we'll have fun regardless...we always do x

A stay vacation?

When the offspring were a lot younger (under 11) we had what I considered to be a great school summer holiday with them.

Firstly, we had a stall at a boot fair and raised £49, which meant c£7 pw entertainment money. You probably couldn't do it now!

So each week, we tried to do one 'special' thing.
Swimming.
Council run puppet show - there was probably a small charge.
Trip to the seaside + an icecream
A different park with another family.
Go fly a kite + an icecream

As a family, we probably went away once every 3 years. Now they have more or less flown the nest, we are SKI's :-D

One of these days i'm going to go to the Boro for a break...

I really want to try a parmo and see me Boro girls again.

I will NOT though entertain the idea of eating a Fadgie...absolutely NOT ...NO WAY :-D :-D :-D :-D *shudders*

I actually look forward to a day out :-D

We're going to Vannit in mid Wales :-D

Too right HAyley...you work hard for your breaks...

No one would begrudge you those hon ...least of all me x

Bacon sandwiches anywhere taste lovely but there is something about bacon al fresco that gives them an extra edge lol x

I too don't feel gulity about my holidays between us we work 90/110 hours a week I think we deserve our holidays , I intend to see as much of the world whilst we are both able as you never know whats round the corner....I enjoy just getting a way for the weekend or a few days even in the UK.... :-D

Real exotic Muffy. !!!!!!!. But at least at the allotment we have deck chairs and camping gear. Can brew up and make a Bacon Sarnie. Both always taste nicer down there.

Morning Julia !!

LOL...now that's exotic !!! :-D

Oh don't feel guilty about yours Ann !! lol. I don't begrudge anyone a break believe me.

Well except for the ones round here that sit on their bums and do nothing but still get to go away .....that annoys me...not folk like you lol .

We were hoping to borrow a caravan from a friend of a friend and go to Wales.....but it's unlikely to happen now.unfortunately..

.we're lucky really as we live 20 minutes from the coast so we can make do. with day trips. I'm not bothered about going abroad really. There's lovely places in the UK we'd love to visit first.

Maybe next year ! x

Morning All
We're having a two parter this year.
Ourgate, and Ourallotment.
LOLOL

Oh dear I feel guilty becaus we manage to have several holidays in the year, and I feel sad for those who are unable to afford a break.

However I have to add that we didn't have many holidays when the children were growing up, well not exotic/expensive ones anyway. We managed a few in chalets or caravans and a couple at Butlins, we never took them abroad, the remainder of our holidays were at the homes of friends in Cornwall. so I do know how you feel. And of course even days out are expensive because of the price of petrol/diesel.

I am a stopathome :-D
