Euro surely not going to go there!
With the Euro down against the pound the prospect of securing a cheap European holiday is decreasing with almost as much speed as the housing market. If you do find a great deal, chances are that you'll spend almost as much, if not more, whilst you're there so it dawned on me that 'staying at home' (ok, in the UK!) might be the new 'going abroad'. Staying in the UK for your holidays might sound less appealing than sunning-it-up on a deserted island but I urge you to look again.
For those that want from their break a peacefulness and a time to reflect and get closer to mother nature, the UK & Ireland is home to some of the most beautiful countryside around. Take the lake district for example, what more breathtaking beauty can one person behold? If not the Lakes, then there are miles of coastline teaming with wildlife, picture postcard villages and cosy tea-rooms just waiting for you to arrive, breathless and freshfaced from your rambles, and serve you a warming sweet brew and feather light fairy cakes that sprinkle magic into your day. Behold, with childlike awe, the extraordinary sunsets that envelope the striking landscape of the Gower Pennisula or try to glimpse the monster that lurks beneath the waters of Loch Ness. Take the time to explore the stunning landscapes that are on your doorstep; to slow down, to switch off the phone, forget the emails, the children's demands, the endless list of To Do's that never get done and just: breath. relax. And take it all in. Because:
"What is this life if full of care
We have no time to stand and stare?
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep, or cows.
William Henry Davies 1871 - 1940
For those that want to charge up their holidays, why not choose the buzz of a city? Once again, there is an abundance out there. Most obvious, of course, is London. What you can't do in London just isn't worth mentioning but it's worth looking beyond the M25 and discovering what the new glittering cities have to offer. An array of restaurants, bars, pubs, shops, and attractions for all ages mean a weekend in the city could be your new favourite pastime.
Still not convinced, well how about knowing that you could be staying in 3 star hotels from as little as £19 per person per night? Costa del 'falling Euro' not so attractive now.
Like a long lost but much loved shoe discovered at the back of the wardrobe, the UK is yearning for you to go out there and re-discover it. Travel its ancient landscapes, re-trace the steps you did as a child, take a fresh look at its treasures be they old or new and rejoice in not having to stand in one single airport queue to do it!
