Holidays

were staying in a cottage in Mevagissey, were planning doing quite a lot of sight seeing, Eden Project, Last Gardens of Heligan, Plant World in Deven, Lands End, Scilly Isles. just hope the weater is good

 

I recommend to nurseries;
Hill House Nursery (on the way home maybe?)
Roseland House. Right up your street and Charlie is a real gent!

 

Thanks for the ideas, I can us coming home with a car full of plants

 

I've booked a lovely, now quite cottage in the country, it's a place called r gate

 

@Kandy well that is just the photo on the site ! When we get there the two man and a dog pods may be like my garden shed

Wharfedale is my favourite area of the dales its very pretty . We stayed in Skipton and drove up Wharfedale through Grassington.

 

When we were last down there we found a couple of small family run nurseries in the St.Austel area that were quite good too. I should have made notes.

 

we will again be in Key West, Florida in May. In October looks like I might be flying to Australia.

 

Nothing planned as of yet apart from going to watch F1 at silverstone for 3 days with little Mowgley.
Holiday to Japan keep catching my eye for some reason though

 

@Ian Taylor Hope you enjoy your stay in Cornwall, beautiful county.

Don't know if you're a lover of fish & chips, but if you are, I can thoroughly recommend this place. It's near Looe on the south coast, a bit different from your average chippy or seafood restaurant, but the best fish & chips I've had in a long time.

The Coddy Shack

Holiday cottage in the south of France for us this year with several other family members, eight of us altogether. Haven't been to France for many years, and that was only a day trip to Calais in my teens, so breaking new ground for me.

 

@strongylodon , how do you actually get to North Cyprus ? Can you fly direct now .

 

@redstar , I hope you love Oz later this year. When I went visiting friends many years ago I just stayed in the Sydney area. But Sydney harbour must be one of the most stunning locations ever. Not sure how long it takes to fly from East coast USA , but my return flight of 25 hours virtually non stop has cured me of long haul forever !

 

@HarryS you can still cannot fly direct non stop but have to stop in Turkey for half an hour or so and then on to Ercan airport in N Cyprus. UK still does not recognise Turkey's ownership there.
We are flying to Larnaca and our hotel in Kyrenia is sending a taxi to pick us up from there.
As Mrs Strongy doesn't like flying (but will do it anyway) she doesn't want to have to land and take off land again prefering the single flight to Larnaca.

 

I have Shiney, but let's face it, I'll have to move abroad to escape it.

 

I understand it will be about 22 hours. not the best . would have to plan to sleep somehow.
