Hope you have good time, Enjoy!

wow rainbow07 THAT brings back memories..........My parents hired a holiday cottage in Instow about 30 years ago and we all piled down there (them and their 5 kids) what a wonderful 2 weeks we had. .............. One day I will go back, although I doubt if I will be able to run up and down the steep
Clovelly steps the way I did then lol.

You should go back Rainbow. It is still so unspoilt. We stay in a beautifull minutes from beach. The boys go sea fishing and us girls enjoy the beach. They are so welcoming there. We aim to move there in the future!!!
Umm i can already smell the air!!!

What a good plan..............start saving! And if you decide to do B&B let me know!

And have a great holiday But don't do what I did. My Mum had bought me my first bikini and although I wasn't a rolly poly dumpling in those days, I was still shy about wearing it. On a glorious morning that was as warm as the South of France, but nice and quiet down at the beach Mum persuaded me to wear my bikini. I even got up the courage to have a splash around in the sea. Coming back to my towel, I lay down to let the sun dry me off.

What we didn’t know was that the RAF had decided to have some kind of manoeuvre that day, and a couple of their helicopters landed on the beach not too far away from us………………………………………………It is amazing how much sand flies around and what a distance it flies when helicopters land. It is also amazing how this flying sand sticks to wet skin. I looked like a sand castle! There was no option but to run past the helicopter crews down to the sea to get all the sand off me……………………oh how I had wished that I was wearing a Victorian bathing dress that day.

Believe it or not, i actually gave up a well paid job with 38 days annual leave to start in business. The job was a doddle, had bags of time to surf the net at work (oops, naughty!) a lunch hour, and at least two tea breaks a day?
Now, work 60- 70 hours a week, no holidays, all the stress, bridezilla's, no wages.....what was i thinking?? I love it though!

Snap I gave up a VERY well paid PART TIME job with great perks to start up a flower shop.................ditto long hours no money etc etc but it is worth every moment as I have my sanity back (well sort of ??????)

I have still snuck away on 2 holidays since last year.................just after Xmas is a good time to shut.

my brother lives at torrington so we try to get up there often, it is lovely,some friends from college days live there one has a florist business from home and the other does something else.i am down the other end, east devon,jurassic coast
we stayed at a little cottage in appledore a few years ago now it was a fab holiday the girls loved it... pub one end of street and the beach the other wot more can you ask!!
have a lovely time rainbow 07 hope the weather is kind to you!!
i am looking at jersey this year but not till later in the autumn looking forward to it.
just got to get the boss to take a break now he is talking about it so maybe we have persuaded him!!

God i soooo need a holiday,i'm one of those poor souls thats not had one in years and now i'm getting desperate even if its just a long weekend,but of course moneys a prob as well,got big money worries at the mo so seems unlikely i will get a break.Maybe i will just sghut for a week after xmas seems the best idea.
