Anyone know of any good holiday destinations / travel companies suitable for a single, 54 year old, stressed out full time carer please? Preferably in the UK (the less stress and hassle traveling etc. the better). I live in the SE England.

After looking after my mum 24/7 for the past year I need to get away from it all. I am hoping to put her into respite care for a fortnight, around the end of July to the start of September, so any help and advice would really be appreciated please. Thanks
 
Not sure about the camping, but Devon/Cornwall are great places for a holiday :thumb:

I am looking for a stress free holiday :) As a member of the Scouts Association for the past 26 years, camping is the last thing I want to do.

I am looking for somewhere to relax, stress free and chill out!

Preferably a temperate climate (not too hot or cold - I hate humid climates) and as I said in my original message - Preferably UK (or British Isles) please.

I been reading this thread and just had to comment.

Look, I'm 56 years old and I'm also now single after a life of mostly always having a female there.

So, yeah, holidays with laid on pussy seems like an ideal to me :lol:

But it don't work like that, does it?

As I've always understood it, pulling a woman works on chemistry, not calculations.

Agreed, being in right enviroment helps.

And physical attraction is still primary attraction, although I gotta say getting to know someone who you might have thought unnatractive - it helps.

Anyways, I'm pretty much in the same position as you squire, except I ain't got no mama to look after. My Mum's 77 and still pretty cool - she's active. Lucky me, I guess.

Romance can't be calculated (correct me if I'm wrong) it just happens.

Just get out more, circulate, talk, smile, be happy.

It will happen.

That's what they tell me anyway :lol:

Sorry to make like light of your situation mate, but I figure I'm pretty much in the same boat.

And I ain't given up yet.

And I still laugh.

And I don't complain.

Have two Disco bookings to do, should be fun.

My friends range from 18 to 70 - they are all marvellous :)

But, gotta say,. all this niceness, I still sleeping alone.

And yes, because PCREview is a family Forum, I've held back.

Ok, in short, don't sweat it, be yourself, it will happen :)

And, to finish, yes, I'm tipsy, but I'm probably speaking from the heart.

It's good to have a partner.

For myself, it's good to have a female partner, they be wonderful :)

Where on earth did you get the idea that I was looking for romance? :confused:

I am just looking for a nice relaxing holiday where I can relax after the stress of looking after my mum for over a year. Yes I am single but I am not looking for romance or any relationship.

I know from, experience, how difficult it is for single people of my age to go on holiday by themselves, so I was looking into the possibility of going on a special interest holiday for singles or just a singles holiday.

Despite the fact that I am disabled, I do go out and meet people and I have a good circle of friends, but they are mostly married couples or not the right age group.
 
I could put you all in touch with my 2 ex-wives it you want?;)

But seriously i went on a walking holiday a few years ago through the YHA, met a great group of people & we still meet up for a walk & a chat over warm beer.:D

:o :o :o :o :o

Sorry, me bad, I misunderstood.

Completely ignore all that I said.

And good luck in finding a holiday.

Saga looks good....
 
Camping is good in the summer, but only for a long weekend of so. But only if the site lets you have a fire and late night drinking!! ;)

Maybe not for you cguil_uk, but believe it or not Butlins over 18 or 21 weekends are really good, lots of beer, women and fun, every ones there for the same reason, to have a great time, get hammered and if your single go out on the pull! The new Shoreline hotel in Bognor is very nice too. :)
 
i think you all need to read cguils first post again, he wants somewhere relaxing thats gonna be reasonably warm and in the UK

i haven't been since i was about 2, but my dad is always going on about the isle of wight, no idea why but it should be quite nice around that time of year
