I had a week down there with my Sister. We did it via a NT coach tour, so we got to see a lot of the places we wanted to go, Chartwell, Sissinghurst, Knole, etc. It was relaxing not having to drive, but the coach did crawl at times. Some lovely places to visit though still. would need careful planning. OH isn’t that bothered as he spent a lot of time down there, and in London growing up. Coastal areas, Rye, Deal etc... I would enjoy. It definitely won’t be this year though.

Remembered a very nice little private bolt hole we have used down near Marazion. I used to use indoor pool when we stayed on a CL, and laundry. Could be an alternative to Club Site🤔

If the current crop of leaks about coming out of lockdown are anywhere near accurate, staycations are likely to be brief as it'll be autumn before we really get going. Some day trips out in May if we are lucky.

Looks unlikely sites will be open before May but who knows it’s all just speculation at the moment. Hoping we get our main holiday down to Somerset in July but as said everything is a bit up in the air at the moment.

I do wonder if the bad news has been leaked in advance so that "good old" Boris can perform a "rabbit out of the hat" act this afternoon! Still, not long to wait now. frown

Oh Drat, income tax due to rise by £0.10 in the pound. 

Great, the rise is only going to be £0.05. Hurrah!

Well we should all know more this evening. It has already been leaked that part of the plan is to be allowed to travel out of our areas after 31st March but no overnight stays so that looks as though our plan to visit our static van in March or now even April is out. However, we shall see what's what when the man speaks.

Looks like April 12th might be a possibility,  Debs - and just as the schools go back (again). Fingers crossed! smile
