    O/T holidays

    Where we all off?

    I'm taking twenty 15 and 16 year olds away to the Lakes for a week (sort of Duke of Edinburgh-lite type course-anyone been to High Borrans?) so, naturally, it's absolutely pissing down. Then after a week back home I'm off to Keswick with the family...so expect it to piss down then as well.

    Anyone doing something a little more far flung or exotic?

    Yes I'm hoping to come up to Northumberland for a couple of weeks or so later in the year. That is if I can arrange time off.

    That to me is exotic and far flung.

    My family all li e in the lakes. I used to love cycling and walking the fells. Camping with buddies and Doe weekends getting hammered on the sly 👍🏻 found memories.

    Im just wrapping up a 4 day city break to Istanbul to catch up with some friends who loved from Al Jazeera to TRT world. I always stay in Sisli great food brilliant area and the weather here 8s just amazing right now after 55+ in the desert.

    Off to Beirut to see the missus family at some point in the next few weeks before we take a late summer break on the Maldives.

    Only 4.5 hrs flight from Qatar which cost about £350 so gonna take the opportunity whilst its affordable global warming hasn't submerged the islands 😂

    Now that's a good idea. Don't get much of the real brew down here. Last time I had the real stuff was with my youngest son and June in the Labour Club following Liverpool trouncing us 6-0.

    As it happens my son supports them (maternal Grandad's influence) and I'll give him credit, not once did he smirk or gloat.

    We're off to St. Ives a week on Thursday.

    Hopefully take in a Truro City pre-season game, the Club I used to play for, and have a catch up with a few old pals in the bar. We're taking the Grandson, who's one this Friday, show him where his Grandad used to do his stuff.
