Ever since lighting was by Calor gas.
I never feel any need to 'get away'. I'm retired in a village at the foot of the South Downs. As well as getting out for an hour or two on one of my 60+ yr old Matchless motorbikes with a couple of 'Hell's Angina' pals I have specific winter hobbies: Restoring old bikes in a warm workshop with Radio 4 and a brew, providing technical help to owners of old bikes throughout Europe, producing copy and cartoons for a bike magazine, helping my sons with decorating, then a comfort food dinner and a glass of St Emilion. Get away from that? Not until it's warmer with lighter evenings when I'll be off to Europe again for most of the summer.

We are the same. Off to Kelling Heath near Cromer, 12 miles away middle of March. It's good for us carers to have a change, we're still doing our bit but a change is good and Sue enjoys the break. It's been a long haul since our last trip away. Happy holidays and have a restful time.
we are doing the same type of thing we are going to waldergraves on mersea mainly for the electric and services hope all goes well for you

The work situation having evolved a bit over the last 10 months or so , has allowed us ( if we wanted to ) to have long weekends away every week . We settled on going away approx every 2nd or 3rd weekends with a few 10/11 nights trips in the mix as well . Family contact taking up the non away weekends.......... Now evolved a bit more as I am in the throes of reaching permanent retiral . Am still on the books for the next couple of months , but a bit more away may be on the cards later in the year.

Must admit , for quite a time now we have fancied a longish trip mooching around Portugal .No idea why really , just one of those idle thoughts things. We have spoken about doing a recce , fly there/hotel/hire car break to Portugal. Drive around to get the feel of it and to decide if we liked it enough to actually haul the van down there for a prolonged break of say 7-8 weeks . If yes then we would opt for the Newhaven Dieppe ferry to get a head start on getting down there.
