Searching for the sun

IS IT just me, or has the winter seemed a long one?

What, with all the snow and ice earlier, and now with weeks of unrelenting grey skies and rain… and it’s still only mid January!

All the more reason, then, to see if we can spend a little time in the sun.

Despite her best attempts, My Good Lady has not been able to find a suitable holiday for us online, and my efforts too have proved fruitless and frustrating.

So, we’re off to our friendly local travel agent who, in the past, has come up trumps for us with ideas we may not have thought of.

The point is, we have to move out of our home in March for ten days or so – the disruptions of workmen knocking six bells out of our bathroom is more than either of us can endure.

And we might as well make the best of the necessity and take a late winter/early spring break.

So, where to go? Somewhere sunny, but not too far away – the Canaries perhaps.

We shall see.
