Christmas and new year?

[Karen Ann]

Hi all
I seem to ask the same every year at this time.
What is everyone doing at christmas and new year, where are you going and who will you be with?

We will be in Portugal having Christmas dinner in our apartment. My son has booked to go skydiving on 28 Dec and we will be at Columbo's on new years eve. Other than that we will have a very relaxing break.
PS I hope the weathers better than last year.

We have friends from Sweden and their two boys ( 9 and 13 ) staying with us over Christmas.
New Year could be spent in a darkened room with a suitable sedative.
Past years we have gone to ALbufeira for the fireworks and concerts on the Beach but depending who is performing may stay in the village this year.

[SJ & RE]

Xmas Day this year will be spent by the beach in Lyme Regis and a choice, yet not made of either;
1) Lunch at the Harbour Inn overlooking the harbour.
2) Lunch and overnight stay at The Bridge House Hotel in Beaminster.
Both booked for hedging bets.

New Year a pub crawl around Lyme Regis and I shall cook something scrumtious for us to eat before we go out, fireworks on the beach.
New Years Day, in bed, with a bowl in a darkened room, groaning, 'never again'
Richard will be bright and sunny and off playing golf.

I will be on a yacht with my wife and boys in the British Virgin Islands sipping a rum or two - will try to think of you all

Graham, Have you got room for two more? We'll try and behave, honest.

Sounds lovely. I do hope that you are not the same Graham as featured in the post "Algarve hot tubs" by alf above, cos if you are I dont think he will be very pleased

[JWT]

Sorry that should have said "Alf's post below not above!!

Xmas at home with Parents,sisters,kids etc then off to CVO and arrive early Wed 30th til Sun 3rd Jan.New Years eve booked A Gale for 7pm then no doubt just have a few ales to bring in the New Year....would be nice if there were some fireworks etc but failing that I'll just have to get fooo.
It is supposed to be 4 of us at New Year but my partners Mothers partner has been very ill since August and spent a month in hospital and has been out for about 7 weeks now and although his goal was to make new yeat in CVO it is looking highly unlikely.
I have offered the spots to my Mum and Dad,we discussed it last night and my old man was well up for it then I asked him if their passports were okay (they don't travel much)....they go 'out of date' May 2010 so they will need to get organised if they are going to make it!!Downside is we are travelling Ryanair so £100 each for them to change the bloody name!!

That ramble hike may be a plan,I could well fancy that,will need to check that thread out!

[Geoff]

Look forward to meeting you on the walk!

I plan to be there . . . and I might even persuade Sharen to come along!

[Bruce Wallis]

We will spend Christmas freeloading on our various kids (Yes after nearly 30 years, Julia has put her foot down and said enough is enough......you lot look after us for once!!)......possibly the same for the new year, then on the 4th of January pack up the car and drive down to Carvoeiro until April or May.

Michael are you talking about the walk or the Jailhouse? Thought you were meeting up with us?

Me? Jailhouse? What do you think?

Do you fancy the walk if Sharen doesn't come?

[joanne]

I was trying to be witty to you without being bitchy about your fav place............Would my 6 inch heels be able to manage the walk?
