Other countries like Iceland and Canada can be much colder but also more hospitable.

I think staying at home is very narrowing for the mind. I also find I really appreciate the more positive outgoing culture of many countries: Britain can be so grumpy and claustrophobic at times and I think perhaps the weather is partly to blame, keeping people indoors instead of outdoors and talking to each other. Having said that, Britain is actually a very good place for a holiday. Many travel writers I know say that they find more interesting things per square mile here than almost anywhere else, due to our mixture of cultures and different geology in such a small area. I guess what it comes down to is that a good holiday is the sort that suits you! :)Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-66993658769838348852020-02-02T08:58:05.196+00:002020-02-02T08:58:05.196+00:00Agent: Yes, travel while you have the chance.

I haven't seen even half of this glorious island yet so my plans for this summer include more exploration. And I threw out the bucket list a few years back. Mostly islands on that bucket list, interestingly enough. I guess I adore islands.<br /><br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-63713985268141352042020-01-31T18:36:08.563+00:002020-01-31T18:36:08.563+00:00Mary: We've done quite a lot of travelling, bu...Mary: We've done quite a lot of travelling, but we also read loads of books.
