Maybe exactly where you are, maybe somewhere else.
I’d like to be in Far North Queensland!

The Amalfi coast in spring or autumn bliss sitting under the lemon trees having lunch and a G&T ?

Somewhere warm. This time last year, I was looking forward to going to Spain for a week.

Totally agree henetha my family are not far
from Manley, it’s lovely there.

Somewhere warm and sunny, with my family all together, marrying my OH, able to swim in the sea, snorkel and watch the fishes, and enjoy some nice meals out. Be a long time yet before that though I imagine!

It has been so difficult this last year and it just seems to get worse each week - I just want to gain more peace and tranquility I suppose. Every time I say next week has got to better it isn’t!!

One week has got to be....

Anyway still alive so that’s a plus.

Sitting at the beach watching the beautiful sunset. The ocean and waves are so calming.

I'd be sitting in the main square in Brugge, a Kwak beer in hand, waiting for my steak frites to arrive

Anywhere with my arms tightly around my children and grandchildren.

I would love to be back in Majorca with my DD at our favourite hotel near the beach and drinking coffee at our favourite tapa bar watching the world go by,we had to cancel last year and no chance this year either. I think can't wait to get back there.

GrandmaJet summed it up for me too

In a lovely warm garden anywhere, blue skies no covid. With children and grandchildren all playing happily. Having a laid back lunch

In Venice sitting outside a cafe alongside the Grand Canal with a glass of wine, watching the comings and goings.

Gasparilla Island, a nature reserve on the Gulf coast of Florida. Turquoise sea, deserted beaches and dunes.

Have spent several happy Januarys there and it’s a technicolour world instead of the black and white version we have here at the moment!

My father was Brazilian and I had a lovely holiday there 2 years ago with my daughter. We visited Rio, where we saw the Christ the Redeemer statue and the Sugar Loaf mountain, saw a Samba show, and went to the famous Copacabana beach. Then on to Sao Paulo, and Iguazu Falls. Stayed in some nice hotels and enjoyed everything. It was a bit hot though! Would love to go to this fabulous country again.

My house in Devon - hugging my daughter.

CrazyGrandma2 Tue 02-Feb-21 11:44:23

Sitting around a table with all the family. I care not where the table is!

GrammarGrandma Tue 02-Feb-21 11:46:09

Somewhere in Italy in June on a lounger by a pool, with a really good book, having just swum twenty lengths and with a cup of coffee at my elbow. Or in the Campo in Siena at a café, watching the passeggiata and drinking prosecco.

CR39 Tue 02-Feb-21 11:48:17

Easy question for me! Would love to be in a villa in Menorca with the whole family. Only two hours flying time and you are there. Lovely people, great food and perfect weather even when it rains.

Maggiemaybe Tue 02-Feb-21 11:51:36

On a beach, any traditional sandy beach with a pier and seagulls, with all the family. In fact, anywhere at all with all the family. A bit of sunshine would be nice if we’re outside. smile

With my daughters and their families in Cornwall, probably in the park with all four grandchildren followed by a snuggle up on the sofa with them all with hot chocolate and a film. My daughters live across the road from each other so the children are very close and although they have large age gaps, boys 13 and 12 each with a little sister 4 and 3 they still love to snuggle with Nanny, thank goodness.?

CLP58 Tue 02-Feb-21 11:59:37

In our local pub, drinking beer with my lovely friends.

Witzend Tue 02-Feb-21 12:00:54

I’ve changed my mind - can I be in the lovely warm Caribbean with little Gdcs please.
Dds and SiLs are more than welcome to come too, but SiLs will be required to go back and forth to the beach bar for top ups. ?

I would love to be lying on a beach in foreign country . With the sun beating down on me and the smell of sun tan lotion . The noise of the waves lapping on the beach ⛱️ and the chitta chatter of people in all different languages .
