I am hanging out to get back to Sussex, Brighton and family and friends.
Hopefully, it won't be too much longer.
I live near the Great Ocean Road and love trips to a mates beach house in Lorne.
Tomorrow I am heading to 90 mile beach in Gippsland with the family. Stunning.

I haven't been yet, but I would love to visit the Swiss Alps during summertime. Probably number one on my bucket list of places to go.
One day.

That would be Totnes then
Mrs. P's sister and family live in that neck of the woods and to a degree embrace that towns lifestyle. But for Covid we would probably had a couple of trips down that way but for Covid

Some lovely parts of Leicestershire in late Spring, also love Wiltshire too. Further afield we enjoyed a lovely holiday around the Med with Harry and Sandra Redknapp a few years ago, parts of Southern Spain and around the bay of Naples are stunning.

I am planning two weeks at my mum’s in august. The kids want to learn to surf so will be spending most of it at the beach. I am guessing totnes will have the country’s lowest take up of vaccine though!

We managed to get to Totnes last August before everything locked down again. Lovely little town, and a great view from up in the castle down the river Dart.
Spent the week in and around Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Slapton, and surfing down at Bigbury / Burgh Island. Gorgeous part of the UK....but you hold your breath driving along those incredibly narrow and steep lanes!
Another of our favs is Pass-a-Grille Beach in Florida (Southern most tip of St Petes) A lovely little town, & the missus has already said if we win the lottery we are buying a place there.

Grew up in Derbyshire, most of adult life in Brighton & Shoreham, now live in North Wales..
1) Monsal Dale, stunning
2) Aran Fawddwy, Glasgwm & Esgeiriau Gwynion in southern Snowdonia, mountains I can walk to, up and back home in a day...
3) Grand Canyon, one of those few places that lives up to expectation
4) Provence - Magic
Also have a soft spot for Shoreham, had a little tear when I left.....
I prefer Barmouth, even with it's brummie invasion....

I think the answer to this question should be ever changing as you get older and add to your travel experiences. It’s all about context in your life and with whom you are sharing the experience. My wife and I have travelled the world and been to some amazing destinations; cities such as Melbourne and Shanghai, the beaches and history of Vietnam, the dramatic scenery of Crete and the food and culture of France and Italy. We have never stopped exploring though and have recently discovered the beaches of the Wirral. We get up early to avoid people in lockdown, take a flask of coffee and breakfast and have the place to ourselves. That brings as much pleasure as all the amazing and exotic places we have visited in the past.

Nice! We ended up at George III last week after doing the new precipice walk, a 3 hours job that you can start or finish in Dolgellau or Llanelltyd. Do give Aran Fawddwy a try from Cwm Cywarch, it's strenuous but higher than Cader and much much quieter. Good luck with those clouds!!!
