All year rounder or is it hibernation for you?

Questions like this always make me smile. I usually hibernate from July to October. I hate summer. I hate heat. I'm terrified of wasps and nettles. Summer is more of a survival game than anything else. This year though, I have been as brave as possible and have kept going through the summer, mainly because we've spent my best time of year for the last two years, locked down. 

This winter... we're planning to get away as much as possible and visit some UK places we haven't been before. I bought a scratch-off map last week and I've scratched off all the places (counties) we've been to and it shows that we are creatures of habit. We tend to go to the same places all the time. So this year is the winter of new places!

Would never go away over Christmas, Christmas is for families
Stop when clocks go back ,start late April early may  

 

 

Not a fan of Christmas and have generally been away mid December coming home on New Years Eve

Did not say  am a Christmas fan,Christmas is what you make it 
I am a family fan, we just love to  have family, children, friends around at that time .We even have one couple who are carvanners come down ,and stay a few days 
Brilliant

There were a few factors affecting our decision David. Over the Winter of 2008 I had stopped my regular gym visits whilst not away as my arthritis in neck, shoulder and spine flared up. I was planning to undertake  big change in our toilet and bathroom and also install a plinth and firewall for the location of a new oil tank. In February 2008 I was in constant pain and had been through the Winter and Fliss was saying "you'll have to get a man in'. I was protesting but secretly thought that would be the case. In the late April I had a relief as the pain subsided and I spent August doing the work.  I had for many years had a party for around 15 guests in December and August but after August 2008 I realised that I could not stand and work in the kitchen for two days in preparation. Also over Winter I saw less of Fliss as I hate TV. Both solved by going away for a couple of weeks up to New year.
