    Default Summer hols?

    Well thats the kids off school now till the middle of August ,whats everyone doing?
    Dont think we'll get away till September/October,bit cheeky to start a new job and then ask for time off!
    If we manage a break during Hols it'll be the tent in Aresaig,(spelt it wrong )its just down from Mallaig and beautiful,lovely sandy beaches and good walks.Leave late Friday and back for my late shift Monday.
    Go on make me jealous where you all going

    Take some Avon skin so soft, midgies really hate the stuff.Its not called woodland fresh anymore but its still in a green coloured container.
    Enjoy yourself scenery is beautiful specially the sun sets.

    No doubt the wife will have a long list ready. First few days I shall go walk-about (well, cycle really). Possibly do Savernake Forest. Get in a fishing trip maybe. Then it'll be paint the shed and fencing for a starters.

    I'm sooooooooooo jealous!
    I went there a few years ago with my little sis and her family and my mum and absolutely loved it.
    Stayed in the coral bay area (Ithink) and although the apartments were a dive with sewerage everywhere, Cyprus was an amazing place and I'd love to go back again.

    6 weeks of long lies, late nights no routine........wonderful! Any school holidays are always most welcome. It is great to have no ferrying to various activities and just not having to shout " get to bed or you wont be able to get up in the morning for school!" I love it!
