Our neighbours are off next week for what must be the 3rd holiday/break already this year - and they tend to go to France for a few weeks over the summer. And have a trip booked to the US over Christmas. 
Jealous? Moi? A little. But I'm also usually left feeding the cat and he makes me sneeze 
I do feel very lucky to have the means to holiday a bit more in retirement than I did when we were working but it's usually a long weekend European city break in the spring, a late summer holiday of a week or so somewhere hot (Spain or Greece) and then one or two walking weekends away in the Lake District or somewhere like that if/when we can fit them in. How often do other gransnetters get away?

What was directly across the road from the school you went to?
