This year however I have something new to take into consideration, whereas in the past the choice of destination and hotel would come down to where had a good night life, places to eat and things to do during the day — it now comes down to where has lots of activities, places to go for long walks and a nice peaceful atmosphere.

Ah the wonders of becoming older, more sensible and really more interested in our health.

Last summer we went away to Tenby in South Wales, with FBM Holidays, a self catering firm that we used to use when I was a kid. Tenby is definitely a possibility again this year, although we are opting for a Hotel rather than self catering this time around — although it does have a night life it is also a quaint little place with lots of local activities to keep us active and the whole town is built on a hill to just wandering around will keep those calories burning — so it’s the best of both worlds for us.
