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

On the island of Mayreau in the Grenadines. It has to be one of the most beautiful islands in the world.

Absolutely where I am! Health issues meant I had to retire early so we moved to our very favourite part of the country and feel like we're on holiday every day now.

Totally with you nanna8 Far North Queensland! On Four Mile Beach, Port Douglas to be precise where we were Christmas 2019 fabulous memories with no inkling of what chaos was about to descend upon the world.

Oh yes!

But with the family.

Oh, NellieJ I hope you can go soon.

I think that relatives are allowed entry to Australia so perhaps when you've had your vaccinations you'll be able to go.

NellieJ Tue 02-Feb-21 19:42:36

Bargara a little resort in Queensland Australia watching gentle ripples of the sea rolling over pure white sand with the sun on my back.

Bought a house in Italy with my pension money when I finally recovered from cancer (never know what’s round the corner) but haven’t been able to get out there since November 2019. I would sooooo love to be there now but I can’t. Money is going to run out soon so will have to sell the house in order to have enough to live on. It was a sanctuary but Hey Ho I’m alive and I do actually have some money to live on. Life’s a s* sometimes.

Tuscany

Scottydog6857 Tue 02-Feb-21 15:56:33

Somewhere nice and warm and sunny! Certainly not in Scotland, where I live, and where the weather at the moment is sleet and freezing cold! ????????. I can speak French quite well, so the South of France would suit me very nicely! ??
Alternatively, Australia or New Zealand would do, as I have friends there! ??

I don't post often but couldn't resist this one.Sept 2019 being with my family to celebrate my 70th.eldest son wife and 2 granddaughters came over from Australia.2nd son his wife and my 2 youngest granddaughters came from the States.3rd son and his fiancee only live 45 mins from us.Youngest son came over from the Middle East with my middle granddaughter.It was magical and I can't wait for us all to be together again.xxxx

Anywhere with my family. My grandson is 3 months old today and I last saw him on November 9th when I left Germany where they moved when he was less than a month old. My DD lives in Scotland, 400 miles away and I last saw her in October just after my grandson was born. Who knows when we can be together again,

Grandma11 Tue 02-Feb-21 15:47:45

Somewhere with a lovely view, watching the Sea and the Wildlife, and probably Cruising along on a Boat. I always Dreamed of sailing off on a World Cruise one day, but the realities of life always prevented me from Doing so!

Now DH is Too old to be accepted for such a Cruise, and I would struggle to get the necesary Health insurance cover to enable me to go, so it will just have to stay a Dream and nothing else for us!

Rendella Tue 02-Feb-21 15:44:17

No need to hesitate, my choice is Malta. A wonderful place to holiday.

Sitting on the grass in front of the Crafts Council building looking at the sea in Darwin.

sitting having a picnic, with my family in the Colosseum, Rome. Enjoying Italian wine, Italian fresh fruit and warm bread.
All with the people I love most in the world.

Grannynannywanny Tue 02-Feb-21 14:46:22

So sorry to read of your sadness Laurensnan ?

Luckygirl Tue 02-Feb-21 14:43:13

Laurensnan - I am so glad that you have this wonderful scene in your memory bank.

I would like to be on the Pembrokeshire coast path in the sunshine, with the sound of children playing wafting up from the beaches.
