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 .....

    • The most successful (in the sense of being long-lived) indoor markets often wholly or mainly offer 'antiques' - as these stalls can be covered by others when the owners are absent - as they often can be, if dealers and attending auctions etc. Whoever acts as a support can offer a fixed discount or contact the owners for negotiation. Remember than most indoor markets survive by being open 7 days a week, if allowed - but the individual stalls are often one person bands who can't provide that level of cover, so will individually be closed for one or two days in the week. Too many closed (unless, as above, they are still at least virtually 'open for business') and the market will lose its attraction. One problem is that individuals may use the market to try out a business idea - the problem being that if successful they may then look for a 'proper' shop and leave the market. So the good outlets always move on. And the market holder then has to look for a new tenant.
    • Make a note of the vehicle details, complain to the company and then complain to the council copying your councillor in.
    • And already two huge HGVs have made their way up Colyton Rd, despite assurances at the meetings that they would be routed from the top. Love it how they make these statements to placate the locals, then just do whatever they want because there's no one from the council watching. Or caring.
    • I know. Now the weather has been better for a few days, that whole area has been well used by people sitting out in the grass and just enjoying the peace and views- mainly young people too! Now all that will be lost for the rest of the summer as the grass does not recover until autumn.
