I believe there are a lot of Jenkins about! We used to go every year until about 15 years ago, but I hear from a friend that it is just as magical, and I must go again.

Bit desolated! Run by is it the Jenkins family?

Bryher Isles of Scilly

Bradle Farm B and B near Corfe Castle in a Dorset. They also own a small cafe which becomes a Bistro at night with all locally sourced food - fabulous food at a reasonable price.

The Purbeck hills are wonderful and there are lots of things to do.

Morecambe, with my dog, in a caravan. X

Or Santorini or the Amalfi coast both breathtaking. smile

I would be up for anything anywhere, but preferably somewhere warm if not hot.

KatyK Sat 30-May-15 18:18:42

Some of you have mentioned Seville. I love Seville too. I am being greedy now!

KatyK Sat 30-May-15 18:16:39

I'll meet you there in Venice Loopy . I was just thinking about where I'd want to go as I vaguely read the thread and decided on Venice -then I got to your post! A lovely water taxi/private launch to the Cipriani please!

The Taj Mahal, never been there and never will.
I could do a Diana very well at the moment.

As this is the virtual world, my weekend would expand because I'd love to follow the whole of the British Isles coastline.

janeainsworth Sat 30-May-15 13:19:59

Budapest for me. Never been, but I'd love to go there.

The Helford River in Cornwall.

Croatia. It is such a beautiful country, I'd like to visit Zagreb.

ajanela Fri 29-May-15 19:08:19

Lisbon Portugal. The weather is sunny, the city beautiful and interesting with good fresh fish to eat and even time for a river trip or a short train ride to Carcavelos beach.

Barcelona to visit some of the hand made shoe shops followed by coffee & brandy in one of the lovely squares whilst people watching.

Mamie. I used to live in Bologna. Famous region for its lovely food. I put on quite a lot of weight there. Have been back a few times over the years. I would probably choose Paris for the weekend Biker. Quick train ride and never mind the wind in N France. I would probably spend my time inside. Happy thought.

Katek Fri 29-May-15 17:53:37

Barcelona. Beautiful.

Greyduster Fri 29-May-15 17:42:13

Cambridge! I love it!

Kintyre, my favourite part of Scotland, if Soop`s back home, maybe call in for a cuppa and a natter!
