    Just got back from Ibiza. I'm way too old but couldn't resist going back. Not exactly a classy holiday and spent a small fortune going to the likes of Ocean Beach and Ibiza Rocks. Went to a fantastic couple of restaurants tho!

    I had those years when younger. Think I was there every year from 17-22. Then decided I wanted to see the world a bit more. Some people I know still go back every single year !

    Love Tenby, quiet and some great places around the area to visit. Saundersfoot used to be lively a few years ago but very quiet now and a stroll along the front is fresh. Pendine sands just 40 mins away is a great visit and just a bit further on is laugharne, nice town and history with Dylan Thomas. Get yourself along to “ the love spoon workshop” for traditional lovespoon making, that’s in kilgetty. Family owned business from the house where the father and son make the spoons and the mother had daughter design everything. Your lass will love it.

    Yeah, we love it. 23 years since our first visit and it was the last holiday with us for our 4 kids (until we went to Florida 3 years ago). We like to drive thro' St Davids en route to New Quay and get a boat trip to see the dolphins.
    The lovespoon visit is a great idea and last time we did a chocolate factory visit that was out of the way a bit but can't remember where!

    Wickedly welsh chocolate factory on withybush trading estate in Haverfordwest, SA62 4BS.
    Also try the harbour brewery [Harbwr in welsh] That's got some cracking beers on sergeants Lane, Tenby. SA70 7BU.
    Milford waterfront is a good night out also .

    Nah, I showed it to my Son and explained the reasoning, but it was only on the floor between the bar and the foot rail... so say 6" to 8" max so it would be quite a hard shot <laugh>

    Both my daughters ski race so I spend most summers in premier inns and at the bottom of dry ski slopes every weekend around the country. Sometimes get to move indoors to the indoor slopes at Glasgow and Manchester.

    The last time we were there we stayed in The Liverpool Arms. A good place to stay.

    No the hotel!! I might be getting mixed up!! We stayed in the big massive hotel overlooking the Menai Straights, which had tables outside. I thought it was The Liverpool Arms, tho I could be wrong. lol

    South Africa a little later in the Summer with the current Mrs Flanders (we are moving there when I retire next year) Then a golf tour to Kuala Lumpur with a bunch of morons which will probably be my last golf trip sadly.
