Ok friends, negativos and the rest...

I'm planning a short break for hubby, my babes (1 & 9 soon to be 2 and 10 on 30th May -sharing their birfday with our capatian marvel)

But stuck on ideas - somewhere in Engerland would be ideal but open to suggestions - considering weekend - 5 days etc

Appreciate any suggestions you lot might have - thanks in advance

Isle of Wight!!!!


In all honesty dudette, you get the right weather, anywhere in UK can be cool, depends if you want sea, hills, castles, cities or what.

I do remember as a nipper i loved the Isle of Wight, didn't they have dinasaurs like Jurassic Park?

If you get the weather tho do the day trip to Hastings or Bournemouth or soemthing, that can be cool and theres loads for the kids at them places as well
