Bozo Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Our only family holiday, other then being deposited at my grandmothers, was to Butlins in Minehead. At the time we lived in Wolverhampton. This was a significant break from the West Midlands tradition of going to Rhyl. It was on this journey, in the back of an old Ford Pop, that I and my 5 brothers and sisters, discovered that I was travel sick. Unlike the Ford, I was not popular when we arrived. My recollections of the holiday itself are no better. I fell in the swimming pool, and got stranded on top of the big wheel. To this day I have phobias about water and heights - and I am slightly nervous about holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lectrolove Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I went to Brixham in Torquay every year. I haven't been back there since I was twelve but I'm starting to itch to see what it's like these days. We went to a few different places but the one that sticks in my mind is Port Isaac in Cornwall, for several years on the trot we rented the same cottage there. I went back there a couple of years ago and not much had changed, "our" old cottage still looked very much the same. Very nostalgic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaxonLeigh Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 we went to skeggy for a day in the summer every year & we would go to blackpool at night in september but our main holiday every year was to scotland at the end of october. we all absolutley loved it, mum & dad would rent a masive house out for a week or two if they could afford it. we would normally stay somewhere in the west cost highlands & go walking in the mountains & visiting different places. we always had an absolute blast when we were kids & me & my younger bro still went swimming in the sea even when it was freezing. one year, i must have been about 9, mum & dad saved up & took us on our first holiday abroard to frajus south of france. i was absolutley amazed that we were in a different country. people actually spoke a different language there & i've never felt the sun soo hot.

saxon51 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Dad let me go and sit on the kerb edge in front of our house with a bucket of sand after it had been raining. He told me it was the seaside, and that if I was really good, I could go there again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
