    Sat on the balcony in Gran Ganaria whilst the missus is getting the kids to bed. Been 38 degrees today with a wind like someone opened an oven door. Probs a bit too much for me like. Still, plenty drinks required to cool me down

    Strange that
    Because we’ve just returned in July from Stalis in Crete
    And the food all over was the best ever
    Infact it was better than it had been all there years I’ve been to Greece
    We think they have upped the game
    I think you were unlucky maybe better next time

    Aye most likely. Been a while since the last trip abroad so I might have built it up in my head too much.

    Drove down to Porthleven in Cornwall yesterday, got a couple of weeks down here and weather looks like it’s finally gonna pick up after a storm tonight/early am…. Hoping for a similar SAFC trajectory, so will try and switch off from the footie a bit and see what we’re like come end of August window. Try being the operative word.

    Some canny wave bashing on the beach this morning with family. Bikes, board/wetsuit, golf clubs, books and the local hospitality to keep me/us pleasantly occupied .

    Did you talk to the owner, massive fan he is. There’s a few of them that come over for the matches now and again. Been in there many a time. Lake Garda is my favourite place

    We had such a great time in Cape Verde that we have booked to go back in November. Really good price we got as well, only downside is flying from Manchester.

    This time tomorrow we will be on our little caravan break in Northumberland.

    Praying for good weather so we can get to the beach and explore the coastline.

    Only 4 nights, but a change of scenery

    It's only an hour from our house, but still feels like a proper holiday.

    Going to get to Alnwick Castle as well (hopefully)

    Its worth having a day up to Ingram Valley if the weather is good. Great picnic area and a short walk up to Linhope Spout waterfall. Had many happy days up there when the kids were young and still go up with the grandkids
