Hi Rani


We have had two holidays in europe that we loved.


One was in italy, very near florence (Montevarchi) .... stayed on a lovely farm in little self catering cottages. They had a big pool (all salt water) on the property and we had loads of fun. Loads of fruit trees, vegetables, grapes, chickens. The owner would leave bowls of fresh fruit and veg outside on our patio. There was lots to do and although we could catch the train etc to Florence, we didnt do that many trips as it was so hot! Went in July. However the farm was beautiful, we were so relaxed, and would go for beautiful drives in the afternoon (aircon on, daughter having a nap)

The other holiday was in portugal, (Verdemar) same type of thing, stayed in a place with lots of little seperate bungalows, in big grounds - however this time we ate / had meals cooked for us ... also beautiful, would drive to beach every morning, and then spend most afternoons around the pool. Dinner was a highlight as would sit with about 10 - 12 other adults, wine would flow and lots of laughs.

Both holidays were extremely family friendly...... (plus quite easy flights over ....) If you click on the links, the pictures will do more justice than my attempts to describe the beauty of both places .....

    • I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.
    • How the hell did Mad maxxi do that given the state of the rest of us?
    • "I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff."   I remember that little bric-a-brac, at the back of the solicitors' place. Still got a block type panel from there. The old solicitors on the corner would could be a good venue for a few indoor stalls
