It looks like the end of August and September may encounter a UK Indian summer. The question is will you stay in the UK or travel abroad for a last minute holiday abroad?

Many people fail to realise that the UK has some unbelievable holiday destinations.

One of my favourites is Cornwall St Ives. In particular the Carbis Bay area. It is just stunning. The golden sandy beaches and the wonderful blue ocean. You can easily be forgiven to think that you are somewhere in the mediterranean.

If you have never been to Cornwall. Don’t just travel to Carbis Bay. My advice is to travel along the coastal line and visit as many beaches as you can.  A recent guide that I read through stated that there is over 110 beaches/coves/dunes to visit in Cornwall.

So if your into your hiking and trekking, I would suggest planning your trip in advance.

If your looking for a chilled out family break than Carbis Bay is perfect. St Ives also has some lovely restaurants/ bars/ coffee shops etc to relax and watch the sunset.

If you want to stay in the UK, I would defo advise visiting Cornwall.

If your household is anything like mine. Then you probably on one hand can’t wait for the little terrors to return back to school, but on the other hand do have moments of “ahh, lets try and enjoy what time we have left”.

I guess the fact that we can’t all have the luxury to jump on a plane and go travelling around for the whole summer means that ‘Mummy & Daddy’, or whomever is in charge. Must not only have the patience of a Saint, but also have the organisational skills of a skilled professional planner.

It’s been 3 weeks of the school holidays and I can honestly say that not one day has gone by without my kids starting and ending the day with “what are we doing tomorrow” !!!!!

I love the fact that my kids are inquisitive and tend to have a thirst for learning and experiencing new things.

I guess all I would say for any parents prior to the school holidays is to PLAN PLAN PLAN.

I would love to hear what you have planned for your kids this summer. Free days out would be especially good to hear about, as I have 3 kids and paying for daily excursions in and around London can be VERY expensive.

Ok, thanks and I look forward to hearing from you guys soon.
