Lapland Christmas 2015 with my 3 kids.... two reasons it was the best... 1. My first holiday as a single parent, and I rocked it 2. The most magical place I’ve ever been no one could come home not believing in the magic of Santa and we saw the northern lights not once but twice.

Other than that a road trip around Europe was pretty good.

I have never had a foreign holiday sat by a pool or beach.

Ah excellent. Took the child to Naples on my own when she was around 6 months old to see how she was on flights. She was great and the Italians love babies so it was brill. She a great little traveller now

Pisa, Florence and Siena.

It's my best holiday ever because I'd had an awful trip to Prague in the March, with ex boyfriend. I didn't want to be left with bad memories, so I booked a flight to Italy a few months later. It was my first ever solo holiday...aged 44...it was amazing...and I now have wanderlust!!

Shortly after one of our friends died back in 2011, 3 of us went to Majorca for 4 days

It was out of season, it was chilly and windy, the apartment was a bit on the grotty side and we didn't have a whole lot of money to spend, but we had an absolute fucking ball

I have so many hilarious memories from that holiday that will stay with me forever

Weston is a Brum bank holiday day trip thing, it's the nearest coast from Brum...the quickest to get to anyway. All you hear is West Mids accents, the beach is pretty much just mud and when the tide goes out you need a satnav to find the sea.

That's the thing , you'll never catch a turtle, they look slow and graceful, but a simple flick of their flippers and they power off in to the deep blue

Same here, couldn't stand Times Square but I loved down and dirty, grimy side of NY.

I had a fantastic afternoon in a real run down part of East Village. Stumbled into a spit 'n sawdust bar just to get out of the heat with my daughter and got hammered chewing the cud with a few locals, it was the day after her 21st. Fuck knows how we got back to upper West.

Hefty Hideaway

Mine is quite dull compared to some of these.

Cornwall with a 2 week old baby. Sounds horrendous but it was so relaxed and exactly what I needed. We were beach bums for a fortnight. Only saw our apartment at bedtime. I lived on morning croissants and cream teas. I block out the part where I smelled like upchucked SMA the whole time. The most pleasant memory I have is wandering Mousehole with her, staring at her little face and thinking blimey I actually have responsibility now. She turned 13 on Saturday but that holiday feels like yesterday.

Probably in the mid 90s to Jamaica. Stayed at a very romantic, idyllic resort in Ocho Rios called Enchanted Gardens. It was halfway up a small mountain, with a jungle feel and gorgeous plants and flowers. Within the complex were big natural waterfalls, 5 fabulous restaurants, a secluded private beach and each pool had a pool bar that you could swim up to and get cocktails. It was the first time we’d ever stayed in an air conditioned room. The nightly entertainment was superb and the service was wonderful. We spent so little because it was all inclusive that we could afford a helicopter trip around the island and a visit to Golden Eye. Never to be forgotten

I've been very lucky and have travelled a lot and have stayed for long periods of time in places.

I still love India the most.

I think it's a mixture of the people I met and that it's such a different way of life from here.

I spent 6 to 9 months a year there from 1999 - 2011.

Mostly in Goa but travelled the whole country on trains, planes, motorbikes, scooters, boats, rickshaws, questionable taxis, private drivers in broken ambassador cars etc ..

I feel blessed to have been there before having a phone / internet connection.

My main priority was the experiences not to take pictures of it.

Back in my 20’s we had a family cruise on the Norwegian Ffjords (mum, step-dad, me, nan and grampy) as my Grampy wanted to see Norway again (he’d been there in the War).

It was breathtakingly beautiful, and it was 2 weeks of adventure, drinking and the most amazing club sandwiches i’ve ever had in my life.

Perfect.

Under the Duvet


"Roadtrip/Camping/Hiking holiday in Canada in 2015. 3 weeks long, 2000 miles on the clock, and countless on foot!

Visited Vancouver, clear water, Jasper, Banff and stayed in Kamloops overnight

That sounds cool, I've only been to Toronto so far

Toronto is not so nice "

I had a fab time in Toronto, it was minus 12 tho so had to get used to brain freeze! Thought the people were great.I love exploring random cities.

"Sitting on a hotel balcony, alone, watching the light fade over Lake Como

It was pre smart phone

My pleasures that night were simple: the view, a leg of lamb, fresh bread, red wine"

You had me at leg of lamb

"About 20 yrs ago now..was a luxury coach tour of the American West.. started in Los Angeles then on to las Vegas and San Francisco and everywhere in between..

I experienced a balloon ride at dawn over the Sonoran desert, complete with champagne breakfast, i flew over the grand canyon, and had loads of other 'once in a lifetime' experiences and made lots of friends.. many of whom I'm still in touch with "

I found Vegas a whole lot more fun than I thought I would, and the Grand Canyon is beautiful, the way the colours change as the clouds go over and the light changes.

"Mine is quite dull compared to some of these.

Cornwall with a 2 week old baby. Sounds horrendous but it was so relaxed and exactly what I needed. We were beach bums for a fortnight. Only saw our apartment at bedtime. I lived on morning croissants and cream teas. I block out the part where I smelled like upchucked SMA the whole time. The most pleasant memory I have is wandering Mousehole with her, staring at her little face and thinking blimey I actually have responsibility now. She turned 13 on Saturday but that holiday feels like yesterday. "

Brilliant...
