Yay – go Lily! A girl after my own heart, by the sounds of it. They’re just so blase these days, aren’t they? William is much the same.

Insomniac Mummy – I know I’d not been further than South London when I was 6. I find it amazing how she takes it all in her stride.
Teresa – thank you, she’s currently trying to find out how to go to university in the US!
Rosie – they could go together!
Liz – LOL! Same here I’ve tried to explain about the camping trips I had as a kid and she just looks at me like I’m mad.
TheMadHouse – you are a sensible woman! Kind of wishing we’d done that now!
Julia – Oh for sure, she could totally do that
Modern Mother – My grandmother left in 1911 with her mother and siblings on a ship to London and was very anti ever returning so none of us have ever really bothered. God knows what happened??

I’m shocked you’ve never been to Scotland!

Apart from our two trips a year to California to see my parents, we stay local as well.

That’s hilarious! Sounds like a future travel agent, suggesting the ideal locales.

Oh no, I have managed to keep my two in the UK and France. I am on a back to my childhood holidays for them, much easier on the pocket, especially with our tent!!

Made me laugh because we’ve had the exact same conversations. No 1 Son has been on lots of press trips with me so he thinks it’s normal to stay in 5 star hotels and fly first class… I’ve told him he’s in for a big shock when he does his gap year. I didn’t even go abroad until I was 10, and in fact, one of my absolutely favourite holidays when I was a kid was going to Invergarry (sp?) with my family. It rained every single day and because we were staying at one of those places that insisted you left during daylight hours we use to drive and then sit in the car (it was too wet to go out) singing songs and drinking hot chocolate. When I told No 1 Son he looked at me as though I was from another planet.

That’s brilliant. Wonder if my 6 year old has spotted that job in Tokyo. There could be competition!

Cute- she is a well travled young lady. That will serve her well in the future.
Happy Day

LOL!

I didn’t go abroad until I was 16 or on a plane until I was 19. How times have changed. I can still count the amount of times I’ve been on a plane on one hand!

We love holiday cottages.
