In 2016 I’ll be having a holiday in Europe. Terry and I planned to save for it together, assuming it would take 3 or 4 years, but while our long time friend Elisabeth was visiting us, he suddenly said he would not be able to go himself – it would be too much for him – so I should go with Elisabeth!!
She jumped at the idea, and of course just being me it won’t take as long to save up. We’ll spend a few days with my sister in France, then over to England to visit family and the Yorkshire Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway www.nymr.co.uk/ maybe even at the time they are doing the WW2 civilian life reenactment www.nymr.co.uk/wartime/. We’ll go to Vindolanda on Hadrian’s Wall, the York railway museum and lots more historical sites.
If we can afford it we might go to Vienna – we both speak German so that would make it easier. It would bring back memories of my misspent youth!!
Our son David said his Dad and Beth the dog can stay with him in Runcorn, about half an hour from here, where they have a large house. He can choose the spare room upstairs or the granny flat downstairs. There is a large park, which morphs into bushland directly across the road from the house, so it would be pleasant holiday for him too. He loves our daughter in law dearly, and he and David have always got on well.
It is hard to save on the pension but I’ll manage.
Roll on 2016.
Belfast another appalling attack, we need to ask what is driving this.
