Pub was open for us, just had to book a table on the app. Hopefully the weather will pick up for you tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjvilla Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Went to Ludlow the other day with the other half and kids... Mainly to walk the dog and explore new areas with the kids, loads of tourists around. Heard many different accents and when we went to the town centre, it was very busy. I got us all some lunch so we found somewhere a bit quieter and ate. (Local knowledge helps) Making an, usually, nice little trip a bit more stressful the amount of tourists around and NONE wearing masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bloody lovely by the way. Agree Spilsby isn’t big enough or interesting enough to be a destination in itself, but as a place to base yourself to explore the area it was great. Cottage we found ended up being brilliant too. Had acres of lands and 3 lakes in the grounds. Why on Earth they rent it out at £150 a night when it sleeps 5 is beyond me! We did decide to drive through (emphasis on the THROUGH) Skegness while we were up that way. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get my full week in at Playa de Ingles and flew back at expected time on a less than half full Jet 2 plane. But OH dear half places shut. So sorry for every one in the industry that make our holidays so good. from hotel workers to waiters in cafes and bars taxi drivers etc etc Me talking about holidays and them wondering when they will work again Looked at holidays in UK and are often more money than going abroad for me and Mrs T Was going to GC again in April, just transferred it to Majorca Santa Ponsa Sun beach hotel September never been there has any one been there ?

Ingram85 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Why anyone would book a holiday abroad at the moment is beyond me until 2022. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Don’t get it myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Don’t get it myself. Holiday companies are offering full flexibility to move or get full refund if it doesn’t go ahead. A lot of people had foreign holidays last year and by July/August this year we should be in a better situation than last Summer. I can see a lot of them happening if cases are low and the government has to decide between keeping them afloat or letting them operate. Some people want something to look forward to on the off chance that things straighten up quickly. I don’t see the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 If we see some good evidence that the vaccine is working I’ll be tempted to grab a summer holiday abroad (safe in the knowledge I’ve only paid a deposit and I can move it to next year if I don’t fancy it when it comes round). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I was supposed to be in Florida in August last year, kicked the can to August this year and have no idea if I should be expecting to go or not. Lots of scaremongering going on with differing reasoning, I intend to go if i can! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 The virus is shit, but at the end of the day, you cannot expect healthy people at low risk to pause their lives for 2 years. It is a complete absurdity there isn't a clear path out of lockdown already to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
