Now the Royal Wedding and the bumper bank holidays are over I’m now looking forward to my summer holiday and one more bank holiday at the end of the month! The unseasonably warm weather has firmly put me in the summer mood and I hope it continues until I go away.
There are so many things that I love about the summer, when we have nice weather here in the UK, long evenings spent relaxing in my garden, BBQ’s with family and friends and getting out and enjoying the best the UK has to offer. After last year’s disappointing summer, many people will be hoping this year will be an improvement so they can fully enjoy the ‘staycation’ and ‘daycation’ holiday trends that have come about since the recession. With soaring fuel costs to travel abroad or even anywhere here in the UK for a holiday has had to be put on hold for many Britons, so after all that the last thing we need is a washout summer.
I’m lucky, my all inclusive summer holiday was booked and paid for last year, before the recent increase in travel costs, however if I wish to go abroad again next year it’s not going to be cheap and I need to start saving now. Even looking to take a break in this country will cost me and that’s before we factor in fuel costs and god knows how high they will be next year! For the time being it looks like many people will have to stay put, until the market forces stabilise before they can think about going away.
So fingers crossed everyone, that the weather stays good, warms up and we have a good summer, I think everyone will need it!
