I am absolutely fuming relationships!

...we are affording it by camping, taking all the food with us, cereals for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and baked beans, sausages that type of thing for dinner so there is no food expense, and we have in the car wine and beers for when we get to the camp site and the little one is in bed.

This sounds like purgatory to me. I doubt I'd last two days.

Hi Euronorris.....hope you enjoy your trip to my part of the world, other things to keep you busy:-

Glastonbury Tor - not a lot to see at the top but a tower, but the view is fantastic and to say you've been there - worth having a look around the weird and wonderful shops in Glastonbury too, or around the Abbey.

Clark's Village - a factory outlet centre at Street, should be good for some bargains with your Euro/£ exchange rate.

Bath - for a day out - parking charges are horrendous, much cheaper for someone to drop the passengers off in the city centre, and then drive to the outskirts or Park & Ride and get a bus in.

Stonehenge - approx 40 miles to the East of Bath, in Wiltshire OK, so it's a pile of old stones - but if you want to get the best photos, without tourists getting in the way, go at dawn or dusk - you will not be able to get right up to the stones at that time, but close enough to take good pics. Avebury is more mysterious, but a bit further away.

Wells - a nice sleepy city, worth a mooch.

Farm cider - buy it by the 5 litre containers - tastes like flat apple juice with undertones of who know what - that's all I can remember - doesn't taste at all alcoholic until you wake up in hangover haze.

Cheddar Cheese - get a local, good strong Cheddar Ploughmans Lunch in a country pub, much better than the namby pamby Dutch cheeses

Hope you have a relaxing time in Somerset.

Thank you Sally, but we will be very busy as it is as OH's brother lives in Weston, his Dad in Taunton (or thereabouts) and Mum in Bridgwater. One of my best friend's is in Bath (I LOVE that place), and my family will be staying in Frome. Phew! lol

I think we'll be glad of a day of peace and quiet. lol

Have to admit not read all the replies but I sympathised with you so thought i should reply. I went on holiday with friends once, insisted on camping instead of a cottage then spent the time eating in morrisons, swimming in a public pool and walking/playing tennis designed for children. All to save money. I'm all for saving money but i still like to do something i couldn't do at home, thats what i work hard all year for. I think maybe a 2 week holiday maybe just is a bit much for your OH if he's straight back into work but i agree another day or so would be good to extend it. Could you maybe look up a local park or something for free you could go for a picnic at so the little one would have a good day? Then at least his imagination about you spending a fortune wont run away with him?

Yes you are right I am hard work being disabled my husband and son do a good job of looking after me

Maybe you could try and plan a few days away in a caravan, much easier with it being all one level. Children love it too
