I haven't been on holiday in 5+ years - I couldn't actually tell you when or where. Possibly either when I went up to my old stamping grounds in the NE or when I went to Istanbul for a couple.of weeks to stage an intervention (which solidly didn't work but that freed us up for a nice wander round my favourite city). I'd usually go down London way to see my auntie and coordinate it with a fee exhibitions but she's now in a secure dementia unit since lockdown and my best friend in London died in 2019. As it's just me now it's difficult to plan anything or get properly motivated.

Ideas in the offing:

• I want to go to more traditional events, top of my list is the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance and I can combine that with a bit more family history research in Staffordshire.
• There's a very vague plan to go to Paul Simenon's next "disco" in London as a good friend knows him and quite a few of my friends are Clash mad.
• There's a plan been mooted for a group of friends to hire a big house in Wales for a few weeks in September. We've never done anything like that before but it should be fun (and possibly the basis for some future murder mystery movie) but it needs someone to grab the bull by the horns - so I might try some subtle nudges to ensure it isn't me.
• I was planning on going to York before the world shut down (and my life got derailed), so I may just bugger off for a few days at some point.

So nothing nailed down and I may just repost this to next year's thread on this topic.
