Will it though? No through trains to Europe as HS2 stops at Euston and anyone wanting to go onwards will have to get over to St Pancras.
HS2 has been a missed opportunity and is an example of London centric planning. Linking cities with the major airports and having through trains into the European rail network would have been a much more worthwhile project.

And high speed services between the likes of Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham & London, as well as the likes of Brussels and Paris, would reduce demand on short haul flights, freeing up more capacity for long haul flights. It might even mean we didn't need to waste money on new runways.

Had our usual week in Mablethorpe. Hadn't realised that our last night there was their illuminations switch on. There was a live stage on the beach with some good entertainment, followed by a fab firework display. The evening was spot on weather-wise too so it was a fab night on the beach.

However, for the first time ever, I was excited to come home so that I could meet my first ever grandchild. Very proud.

Lago di Como again...

If your felling relatively adventurous and like a mix of stuff (and like Italy) - fly cheaply into Geneva, one night there, then catch the train through the Alps to Milan. Take the train to Como, head to the ferry port and take the slow boat up the Lake (villa porn and wave at George Clooney) Stay at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo (if you've just had an inheritance) or Albergo Lenno and spend a day or so on the Lake.
Next get on the rattler to Venice and stay at The Excelsior on the Lido (its like going back to 1964 and you get the best of both worlds - a beach and free boat shuttles to St Marks)...then cheap flight home from Venice

Bingo

I have a vision of you in a crisp white linen suit with a matching panama hat.

As usual, we went to Greece, this time to the mainland (the Pelopennese). We'd booked to stay in Stoupa for two weeks in June, but we'd also booked to stay in Monemvasia for 4 days while we were there, which is where the photo below was taken.

What's peoples opinion on Bude, Cornwall. I've been to Bude twice now and have felt underwhelmed.

I love Cornwall and I have had two very enjoyable holidays at Wooda Farm on the outskirts of Bude with sea views. However I find Bude itself disappointing. I have only discovered a few decent pubs / restaurants and it seems to me to be a very average sea side village with not much going on. For me, it comes no where near to Polperro or St Ives in terms of attractiveness and amenities. However, its now my wife's families preferred holiday destination mainly because of the caravan park.

I will soon upset the family when I suggest another caravan park (possibly inferior) but in a better seaside town.

Am I missing something?!

I went to Bude years and years ago there was a swiming pool right next to the sea - is it still there?
