I'd say glen Coe and the cliffs of Dover in addition to the above as hives, but they might just make them homesick?

Stratford upon Avon is always a good option even if just for a walk around.


Any huge errors to be blamed on the iPhone's bloody annoying autocorrect!

there was an outbreak of mad cow disease was it 2006 might of being even before that ....

well alton towers caused a lot of controversy round our way because they slaughtered all the pets and goats from their little zoo/petting corner there - even though they were no where near the exclusion zone and defra and all the vets said they didnt have too

but they killed them anyway - so they could carry on earning

it caused a huge uproar round these parts and me being a staunch animal rights person vowed i'd never set foot in the place again

so its a no

thank you for your suggestion though hunny - i have been and it is super fun - but i'm such a stubborn old git i cant back down on my vow

thanks though x
