Hope you've got winter tyres fitted 
Sarcastic sod. I've a feeling in my water that we are going to have a nice summer. The winter was bad enough. Let's hope it's sunny for the cricket.

Porto walking up Santiago de Compostella in Spain.
Enjoy Pink but Muslim countries are a no no for me and my wife. My daughter in law was treated really badly in Egypt. When she tried to order a meal she was told "I didn't ask you. I asked the man".
I was told that I would't be able to go abroad for a year but the surgeon reckons I'm recovering well and should be able to travel to Europe in six months or so. We are planning for the Caribbean for next Christmas and no need to worry about dialysis. Don't get me wrong, dialysis has been brilliant and kept me alive and fit for three years. The NHS will never get any criticism from me.

Yes the walk should be good. We are going for 14 days with 12 days walking and 14 evenings of local wines and seafood.
I have never been to the Algarve as I tend to keep away from the tourist bits. The Douro Valley is amazing and the coast from Castries northwards is wonderful.
As for Egypt I loved the country until the fundamentalists took a grip. Sadly I doubt if I will ever step foot in the country again.

It looks like overnight stays away from home may be ok from 4th July; that is the date letting agencies are looking at to restart holiday lets (earlier if you are Mr Cummings 
).
If anyone is interested in a nice stay in Weardale (10% discount if booked via me) then please PM me. It beats flying in a metal tube full of snorting, snotty, coughing travellers.

THESE ARE ACTUAL COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY "THOMAS COOK VACATIONS" FROM DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS:
1. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."
2. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food."
3. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish."
4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price."
5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room."
6. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."
7. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallartato close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned."
8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared."
9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers."
10. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."
11. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun."
12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair."
13. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller."
14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service."
15. "When we were in Spain, there were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners."
16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning."
17. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."
18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."
19. "My fiancée and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."
