[Wexford]

Fantasia Sam and Mr Stringer wow you have great taste. Olu Deniz is one of my favourite places as well, in fact we are going there in 6 weeks time for 2 glorious weeks of sunshine and lazing about.
Have either of you done the Tandem Paraglide form the top of the big mountian, DH proposed to me while we were 6500 feet in the air.

Sorry im waffling.

Very difficult to make only one choice for each.

European.
Zante, Ionian Sea. The most friendly islanders I've ever met. Total relaxation with a relatively unspoit feel to the place.

UK.
New Forest/Dorset coast. many happy memories from my childhood and beyond.

Weekend.
Saint Malo/Dinan, Moules et frites, Normandie Cidre and Crepes. St Malo is a reconstructed fortified town and Dinan is a charming hilltop medieval walled town. Just don't refer to anything as French, they are very protective of their Breton roots !

Daytrip.
We live 12 miles from Edinburgh and go there most Sundays, never tire of the city, especially in the summer when Charlotte can ride on the carousel in the gardens..

I fell down the stairs in my haste to get Katie packed off to Nanny's and mangled my ankle, so spent a really really romantic week and a bit in Southampton General having a meccano set inserted in my leg - Darryl's not tried anything again. HINT THERE DEAR.
