Got 4 days leave next week that’s only going to involve sitting all day in a different room!
But then it's the change of scenery and just switching off, blows away the cobwebs I think.
Say you book a cottage in a n other county, but when it comes around you are allowed to go but basically not a lot is open due to a form of lockdown, potentially you are spending a lot of money for a change of scenery and if you don't want to go you'll be unlikely to get a refund.
You pays your money you take your chances.

Travelling on the 24th of July.
I reckon I have a 50/50 chance of going.
If I have to cancel this time I will just ask for a refund and plan something in the UK.0 -
We went to the South of France last year in August and were so remote it was safer than being here! We'll probably look to do something like that again this year if we can. We went to the supermarket a handful of times, a restaurant 3 times and apart from that it was just like being at home...only much warmer. The kids had all the Wifi they could need and we had Netflix, playing cards, books galore and a swimming pool. It was absolute heaven and beautiful scenery and drives. On the way back we came via Germany and Belgium for a change of scenery and stayed at a couple of cracking little places.
Also waiting for lockdown to ease slighly so we can have a week at my Dad's house in Looe. The kids can do their home schooling from there and my wife and I can work from there - but it would be a change of scenery that we could all do with.2 -
Had Centre Parcs booked last easter so glad we got our money back, LeMans last summer and that was a fight but eventually got the money back. Nothing booked yet and will wait until we are nearer the summer before booking anything but if we do it'll be good old Blighty as just don't see us flying for a hols in 2021 but if we can by October will do some time in Cyprus then.
The only plus is I've probably saved £20k!0 -

Really wanted to go Cornwall as never been but have a nagging concern it may prove one big popularity car park this summer.6 -

Got a three special Warner weekends booked all with cover bands playing (ABBA, Pink Floyd & The Eagles). Classy places, top grade rooms, fantastic food and the bands are always good value. Bit of antique shopping whilst we're at the three hotels.
Hoping for a battlefield tour week with both my kids later in the year as soon as they're both vaccinated. WW1 and WWII circuit of northern France. Have been working on the itinerary all year!1 -
Hoping for a nice two to three week holiday in England this summer if the situation permits. My parents haven't met their first grandchild yet so that will make it extra special.3

Just had a cruise around Britain and Ireland cancelled for May, same cruise was cancelled last year as well, as we payed about 3 years ago now rebooked it for the same time next year, actually thinking about it it’s the third time this cruise has been cancelled as originally we were on a short cruise which included a trip on the orient express from London to Venice, that went as well. Shame I brought the wife the wife a lovely new dress and me a new dress suit, never of which have seen the light of day.1

look on ChezNous or AirBnB and see what tickles your fancy. It’s a long drive down but so worth it once you’re there.1 -

ElfsborgAddick said:Elthamaddick said:Elthamaddick said:totally undecided on holidays this year, a good time to have a touring caravan (as we do), we did Cornwall last summer (replacing the south of France). We were planning SOF this summer and had pushed the booking on to this August, however my guess is that even that will be in doubt. It's not so much the vaccination programme in this country, but the fact that the rest of Europe are no where near as advanced as we are with it.
have been looking at sites over here as well and prices have definitely increased. I'd happily go in the UK again, however the 2 weeks in Cornwall last August were probably the worst weather I've known1 -
Booked 3 nights in Edinburgh and 3 in the Cotswolds as our summer holiday/s. I'll twist both so they both become mini golf trips.
Will make a short notice golf trip to Scotland some time too, again a good time to visit as no Americans means deals & empty tee sheets.0 - Sponsored links:

We went to the IOW last Feb half term.
Feels an absolute lifetime ago now, not a year!0 -
As a result of the snail like pace of our vaccines we cancelled our trip to Lesvos in June and have moved it to June 2022.
We’ve only been waiting for this holiday since March 2019 (when we originally booked it) so a few more months won’t hurt 😳🙄😩😩😩😩😩😩0 -
2nd cruise for this year, first was meant to sail in May, 2nd end of July, one got pushed back to May 2022 and second one is now August 2022, still got one I’m hoping to go in September this, if that gets cancelled then next year going to be one long=g holiday😀. The 2nd cruise we cancelled as the direct result of the terrible vaccine roll out in Europe with the cock up they are making of it we decided that an early July visit was unsafe.0

Booked in for Cyprus in July 2022. Fecking ages away 😭1

I am trying to take early retirement and move to the Algarve, it's a pain having to put it off and keep turning up for work until travel restrictions are lifted.1

Just spent £700 getting a tow bar and bike rack for my car...I get The impression this year‘s holiday might not be very far from Snodland-upon-Kent

I really wouldn't fancy a Covid cruise.
Absolute mare if there's an outbreak and you obviously can't disembark.1 -
