We sadly accepted a while back that our hoped for trip abroad, in May/June, would not be happening and have booked on a two week rally in June-which we are very much looking forward to.

Over the last couple of days I have been looking at options for July/August and wondered how prices compare.

Normally we would go abroad at the times I mention so never look to see how over there compares with here.

Anyway, just looked at the price for a 10 day stay at sites of similar levels of quality and facilities, one in Cornwall and one in the Vendee.

The price for Cornwall, at Pentewan Sands, is £498.10.

The price for France at La Yole via the club and including a BF overnight crossing with cabin is £488.36

We don't go 'over there' to save money but its another example to show that considering 'going' as opposed to 'staying' need not cost a lot more.

We've had a moat since the end of the last ice age. Trouble is, the drawbridge is stuck down.

Had email from Cunard yesterday telling me their "Summer at sea" cruises would soon be on sale.

I had a look to check prices etc, and they really are looking to be flexible with the only details, of the itinerary, being that you leave from Southampton..........................................and return to Southampton!
