Friday and its Holiday time. Lift off is due to be 11am so there is much to do before we roll. The hog needs feeding, the bird feeders need to be filled and then the car packed and the wine gums secured in place. the wine gums are an essential for me when I drive any distance. At 11:08 we roll off the drive and get underway. Six hours later we arrive at our destination, Westwood Ho! There was a brief sandwich stop but for much of the way we crawled for no apparent reason. I was very glad that the car has air con as the temperature outside ramped up.

We settle in and take a first look at our apartment. We are pleased and the view of the sea is excellent.

My partner and I settle in, stow our stuff and go for a slow walk round what is now familiar territory. I buy non alcohol beer as a holiday treat and then prepare ourselves a pizza having mastered the oven. We retreat to the large sofa and I draft the blog with the women’s football on in the background. I’m tired now and have little energy left so I shall indulge in a beer, some maltezers and then head for an early night and a bit of a read. It looks like the weather may hold.
