Anyone doing anything special this summer?
Despite my annual desire to get a week's solitude on Pitcairn Island, the missus and kids are dragging me off to Norwich for a week in a campsite.
We have however booked a week in Sicily so that should be good. I'm looking forward to some good food and possibly a minor eruption from Etna.

I was offered a job on Pitcairn once, sorting out the land ownership boundaries - but I thought it was just a bit too cut off from the rest of the world in case of an accident. My friend went and I think enjoyed his sojourn. | | | |

Working 6 days a week till further notice. Wife and kids will Foxtrot Oscar without me. Suits me, to be fair. They'll be off in the (fcuking) camper van.
I have a prejudice against caravaners: I believe they are all grim, sinister-looking couples who engage in foul perversions in their horrifying wheeled sex-cages. | |

That place is odd. Did you hear about the sexual abuse cases that went on there a few years ago? | | | |

Just a week in Majorca this year with the missus and kids.
Not really my idea of fun. I'd rather be traipsing around Devon and Cornwall | |

You'll love South Africa mate! Whereabouts are you going? I only really know Cape Town and KwaZulu Natal but fantastic place with great food, drink, weather and people (just don't go to the townships and don't give taxi drivers in the Toyota hiaces any notice!).
The safari on offer is generally very good too - I've been lucky on my two I've undertaken and have thousands of photos to go through at some stage.
Enjoy, it's lekker bru!
EDIT: forgot to say I had my summer hols in April in...you guessed it, South Africa 😎 [Post edited 5 Jun 2016 22:56]

Stay home in Mallorca all summer and save for a few trips back to HQ when the season starts, flights out are expensive during tourist season anyway. Planning a trip to Athens in November/December which will be nice, anyone been that time of year? Is it reasonable to do? | |

Barbados for two weeks, flying home as of last year on first day of the new season, and still managed to make it down to Charlton! Hoping first game is at HQ this year, journey will be easier. Following weekend the wife bought me for my 50th a weekend at Rick Stein's cookery school in Padstow. Other than that work and what cricket I can fit in. | |

Had a couple of days tagged on to a work trip to Tokyo and enjoyed last weekend in a sunny Lake District - it never ceases to amaze me just how stunning the UK is in parts.
Off to the US next week, looking to tag a few days on. Next month, a week back in France. The wife has a work trip to the Lebanon late July and I am going to try blag on to it. If not, then I'll look to go walkabout for a week.
Later in the year, back to the US and then accompanying the wife back to her native Quebec. (This will necessitate talking poor French, watching Drogba for the Impact, driving huge distances and ending most sentences with the word eh?) | |

Last days of getting there before it all changes.
Meandered it in 2004, stopping at Santa Clara at Che's grave - hummed pigbag, he'd have wanted it. Its a great place, hope it doesn't go downhill when the Miami set roll back in to carpet bag it. | |

Just had a change of plan this weekend.
We were scheduled to stat FOC at a mate's Sth France apartment for 10 nights and drive down from the Eurotunnel, but had not booked anything yet, eldest who suffers from severe anxiety was not coping well with the thought of it, the dog sitters have had to let us down and events were conspiring against us.
So we decided that with what we would save by NOT going abroad, we could put a deck across the back of the house which has been in dire need since we had building works 3 summers ago.
So I will spend my 2 weeks off bent double banging in decking boards and not being allowed to use the old man's bench saw or chop saw - at 48 I am still not old enough nor confident enough in the dark arts of first fix chippying to use it apparently ;-) At least it will give the old bugger something do do - I had better order plenty of spare decking planks though as his eyesight isn't what it used to be!!! | |
