Anywhere where my family and close friends are really, I picked the above as the first two destinations were fabulous holidays with our youngest C. Portmeirion because we stayed there with our friends on the way to Llandudno, and had a fun filled 2 days (sunny but snow still on the ground)

Lake Garda any place on the lake , Kitzbuhel in Austria and Playa Blanca in Lanzarote .

The Amalfi coast is pretty wonderful and Southern Ireland.

Buenos Aires I was lucky enough to go there nearly 5 years ago, what a city! The Veneto, particularly the lakes, but great swathes of other parts of Italy. The south of France where quite a few of my cousins live.

I also really love Britain too but I live here so didn't include it in the 3.

I have travelled to quite a few amazing places further away than my favourites: Andalucia, Wensleydale, London . I love where I live too but took that for granted..or I would not have chosen to be here!

...it is hard to narrow it down to 3..I also have many more places that I love..but the ones that I chose are the 'close my eyes, pretend I'm there places' when I'm stressed/anxious....

Home
'Our' room in the Brudenell Hotel in Aldeburgh, overlooking the sea when it's stormy.
Rhine Valley, preferably on a boat gliding through the scenery,

Luskentyre beach
Penang hill
St Giles Cathedral

Ashown Forest (sussex)
Anywhere in the Dolomites
Ardnamurchan Peninsula (esp loch Sunart)
Goats Head Peninsula, Cork
That’s four and I could just keep going)

I remember being in Sri Lanka walking through an archway of frangipani and thinking 'this is home'. I have been to South Goa about 12 times and Thailand is my third choice.
