I am off for the weekend!..again. Abandoning family is becoming a habit, I am afraid. I am just so grateful that they are not complaining!

This time its Youth Hostelling in Tintagel. I stayed there before, and the hostel is right on the edge of the cliff overlooking the sea.

I just hope the weather isn't dire! I shall take my rain gear just in case, after all this IS the English summer we are talking about...

*^_^* have a good time.

What will you be doing there by-the-by??

[sildil]

My friend and I will be walking, and visiting the castle there. It is almost on an island, linked by a tiny bridge at the bottom of an extremely steep flight of steps down and up!

The castle is the place that King Arthur was supposed to have been born, and there is a vast cave at the bottom of the cliffs called Merlin's Cave that goes right through the base of the island. I may sketch a bit too.

Mostly though, I think we will sit, looking out to sea, drinking a couple of bottles of wine and chat!

OH how wonderful! I was just telling Alexcat in her lj that mums need to take that time...away. With a friend or alone, the mental break from family is the vacation....

...going with family for a week anywhere is NOT a vacation for mothers!

HAVE FUN!! *^__^*

I quite agree! If we go as a family, even if they all do their part in helping cook, wash up and stuff, (since they are all old enough now for that) it is still my responsibility to plan the meals and stuff and shop. And then they get all impatient when I say we can't do something because I need to throw in some washing!

As you say, it is the mental break as much as anything else that helps!

PS: If you have YIM, do friend me, my user name is si1dil (the first 'L' is a number one). It would be great to chat sometime!

oh...are you talking about AIM or Yahoo?? I don't have Yahoo anymore...only aol.

[sildil]

I have Yahoo and AOL..
I tend to use Yahoo mostly as AOL tends to make my computer slow down for some reason, but on AOL I am si1di1, both the 'L's are number ones. If you friend me, I shall do the same back.
