    My nephew and gf did this last year

    ....not a lot of use, but I wanted to post something.

    P.S. Got a 200 quid Samsung Chromebook and one of those XPS things.

    P.P.S. Barcelona everytime. It's always hot there, even when it's cold.

    Oooh lir, that's handy. I'm going to Malaga in 2014, haven't been to that part of Spain before so you can do a recce for me if you go...

    I might want to go and just 'be' somewhere in the warmth...it's very not me!

    I think it's just your tastes change as you get older. Still not sure I could do a beach holiday, but warmth is becoming more tempting.

    I have been through Results Chapter 1. Which is currently bigger than all of the other results chapters put together . Aim: 1st draft of Results chapter 1 complete by end of March (so Friday 29th as I am going away for Easter weekend).

    :T Worlds worst procrastinator here - once I start though, Im usually on a roll.

    It's usually more like something that we would do, certainly. But being freely naked and possibly noisey features quite highly on list of wants and neither boat nor hotel will offer that in fairness to other travellers!

    We really need to relax, so driving etc needs to be minimal.

    We once hired a villa in Tuscany. It was very private and beautiful. We flew to Perugia on RyanAir :p so not much driving needed.

    Stupid left eye is all swollen this morning. Look like I have been punched. Terrified newest client looking like a thug :). Doesn't help that kiwi is having difficulty learning not to jump up (I hate that) and she felt a bit assaulted, with the hounds wiling like werewolves.

    When are you planning to go, LIR? I doubt that Spain has nudist temperatures at the moment, especially in the hills. And do these places tend to skimp on the heating?

    http://www.holiday-weather.com/andalucia/averages/march/

    It's a bit warmer if you go further South http://www.holiday-weather.com/marrakesh/averages/march/

    But how would the locals feel about a bit of nudism?


    Edit: I really think that you are underestimating the advantages of the airing cupboard. No travel time, for a start.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    But we don't have an airing cupboard any more. If we did. I would be in it, I promise.

    I guess timing means now we are best to wait anyway till after school Easter holidays, so.....not sure when they are this year, but Easter is almost upon us ....

    Should hopefully be warm before summer half term times?

    I hope so, as I'm off, and don't want to be cold :)

    Speaking of cold, I'm grateful Sweden doesn't have those rising bollards. Kinda did this earlier (taken by our fleet manager, whose car it is). That's a tram track, just for anyone that can't see!
