MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Two hours delayed, no bus to meet you off the plane, bio scanners not working at immigration, you eventually get to the car after walking to the long stay car park as there's no ****ing buses for that either and..... she's dead, dead as a doornail flat battery!
Roll on Cornwall in the summer!

No ta, not after last time.
August 3 years ago, pissed own for a week & all the beaches were packed full of ****ing kids (I hate kids me)
Which beggars the question, 'why oh why did we go during school holidays?'
That's it for me & sodding Cornwall, rather eat worms.
Like anywhere you need to know where and when to go 😉
Holidays are overrated.
The best bit about getting home is your own bed and your own shower.
😀
Cornwall sucks balls, every time we've holidayed there, it does nothing but rain, rather put a sand pit in the garden and a bucket of water to splash around in
Go down to Cornwall every year. Don't have kids, don't particularly want them, but we go first week in August and the campsite is full of families with kids - it's ace!
Its a farm campsite and its great to see the kids having so much fun and space to play in. Spending a day doing whatever (bikes at Cardinham Woods for example) then cooking steaks over an open fire & drinking wine as the kids ride round the site on their bikes, or playing is a wonderful way to live.
We stay at home for holidays; living here with the Ribble Valley, the Fylde and the Bowland fells just a few minutes away it's like being on permanent holiday.
Every summer Mrs Gti moans that we never go anywhere so we go somewhere like Calvi and do nothing at all but sweat a lot and waste money, which I just find stressful. I have to suffer hot countries on business trips so there's no reason why I would want to go there in my free time.
Ahh getting back from holiday
Returning to grey skies, complete disarray at the airport, shit everywhere, bad driving and bad tempers..
Fantastic 🙂
Well after seven years of growing vet bills and resultant holiday downsizing (see short breaks in a tent in a rainy field) - we just returned from Cornwall ahead of schedule to - visit the vet. The lovely meal we had booked in the most perfect pub in the most perfect cove was canceled and downgraded to Dominos at home.
On the upside - my bikes are looking only slightly less eager than this post-holiday midriff.
Holidays surely exist merely to remind us of the grind we choose for our lives and that we aren't simply 'stuck in traffic - we ARE traffic'.

* On the upside - we did see two seals, in the wild, and enjoyed an hour of almost sunshine. Oh yes.
Wow, almost an hour
Is it standard to return from holidays and be struck down on arrival with a gazillion minor illnesses, thus terminating with immediate effect any beneficial health properties that cruising around in paradise might have had..?
Yes, I'm invariably afflicted with a massive case of the cantbearseds.
We never holiday in this country because it's shite.
We're closer to Brussels than Newcastle if we want a city break, it's far easier and cheaper to go to northern France if we want a weekend break and everything is cheaper on the continent.
The only joys of getting back from holiday are our lovely house and cats - not this sodding overpriced craphole of a country.
The best bit about getting home is your own bed and your own shower.
The best bit is discovering theres a tiny impurity in the copper pipe leading to your upstairs loo cistern thats taken 32 years of it to choose a week when you're away to dissolve - and now you don't really have any carpets, ceilings or electricity.

Bummer. I live in Scotland and it's great, regularly holiday here and would recommend it.
That said, off to Scandinavia next month and train home so delivered almost to the door and no security dicking about
Just had a great long weekend in the UK. Friday at Harry Potter world/tour, Saturday exploring St Albans and seeing relatives, Sunday at Wrest Park letting the kids run riot on their Easter adventure quest in the grounds seeing cock pheasants fighting and deer running away from us, Monday at Cadburys World.
Two nights in a Travelodge family room for £70 including breakfast for four. Had a cracking weekend.
Glad to not be sharing a room with the kids last night though.
Bring on Galloway in August!
I love Cornwall, But the simultaneous colosures of the A35 & A303 yesterday took the shine off the return journey to Sussex.......
Whilst we were away, someone stole our house numbers?! (screwed to the wall) Friends suggested we go and see if the numbers 2, 6, 26, 29 etc. have them.. Who the **** steals house numbers?! [i]Daily Mail mode;[/i] starting to wonder if it's the new 'code' for burglars to mark a house or something.
why would burglars need a surreal and convoluted 'code' to mark your house?
Recall being handed a DM article by a relative a few years ago on it, something like this:

heh! That's hilarious... 😆
I used to get dragged down to cornwall yearly and hated it. Crap traffic, rip off prices, nowhere to ride/escape. Miserable.
Persuaded the in laws to try west wales, and we haven't looked back. I think the beaches are nicer too.
