Would you be happy to visit Europe this summer?I think we should stay in our own country this year and help our own economy to get back on its feet . We have done so well with our vaccination programme and keeping ourselves and others safe, why jeopardise this by travelling to countries that are not as far forward as we are and risk bringing the virus back here. We do have the sun in this beautiful country of ours so that's what we'll be this year, catching up with relatives we havent seen since before lockdown in Cornwall, Devon and the South Coast. NOW next year - hopefully - will be very different story and we'll be first on that plane!ViewDate:

Is it too early to book a holiday overseas?Until other countries are safe to travel into and there are no quarantine rules here or overseas, we shall be staying in the UK this year visiting family in Cornwall and Norfolk who we havent seen for over a year and, thus, keeping our money in our own country to help kick start the economy. Now ...... next year will hopefully be a lot different and, all being well, overseas travel will be on our agenda.ViewDate:

What's the best romance film?Dr Zhivago - there is nothing about this film that doesnt send a tingle down my spine every time I see it .. the storyline, the actors, the stunning scenery. It has everything a film should have and keeps you captivated all the way through. -
