Supposed to be on an Italian islands Cruise right now, obviously didn’t happen.

Also have booked for the usual 3 weeks in Corfu for August, flights and accommodation booked and paid for independently. Haven’t  written this one off just yet. It’s a small apartment, not a big hotel chain so if I think the travel part will be safe by then I’ll still go.

If not then will go camping Instead. Price of UK caravan holidays are going to be horrific this year.

I owned a caravan in Rhyl last year and quickly realised they are a rip off. Never again!
Yep, owning a static caravan can be costly. Firstly the caravan is a depreciating asset, then you have site fees, caravan insurance, inflated electricity/gas prices etc etc. I do love my caravan but when you take all of that into account I reckon at the moment it’s costing me about 10k a year, this will come down slightly as the depreciation reduces. Then when you decide it’s time to sell up the park owners usually get around 15% + vat from the sale of your caravan.

10k a year for a caravan?jeesh!...id rather go abroad a few times a year for a lot less AND stay in 5 star hotels when im there! 8)
price higher/work harder!

It's been too hot for me, I thought I was gonna 'spontaneously combust' at one point!

And I hate sun tan lotion; greasy skin that every bloody insect sticks too!

My lips got burnt so I used lip balm for the first time this year...that's horrible too! Although given the social distancing rules, I couldn't kiss all my hot customers anyway, so that wasn't a problem.

On a positive note, I have a holiday soon...
...it's not really a proper holiday, just 2 days under a sun lamp, in the lounge, watching youtube vids of the Maldives! At least the wine will be cheaper  ;D
