Son Bou gardens, Menorca

Ive stayed in Son Parc Menorca, is that anywhere near? If so its really quite lovely.

I haven't been personally but my mum goes there every year, she thinks its great, really nice.

Thanks. We're going for a fortnight in September (me, MR JCG, 3 year old Harrison, and my parents, they're only going for one week)

Hey bird!

How was the week in Dawlish Warren? Did you have a good time? And now you're off AGAIN?! Good for you!! ?

Have you checked out trip advisor, holiday watchdog, holidays-uncovered.... etc?

We wanted to go to the Almirante Farragut Club Hotel as that looked really nice (but didn't book in time and the prices then hoiked upwards!)

Would love to go to Menorca as I've heard loads of great things about it.

Hi mate,

It was great, thanks. And the weather was wonderful. Spent most afternoons down at the Warren (ate at the pub/restaurant there a few times as HJ went in the play pit whilst we ate!) on the beach with HJ. Went to Powderham castle, which was wonderful, Torquay, Dawlish itself a couple of times, Exeter. I won 3 times on the bingo (£2.50 a go, and the amount i won paid for the caravan!), I won a half price holiday by winning the talent contst and HJ came second in the fancy dress!

Wow the bingo was a result! Did you sing in the talent show then? I remember being really impressed when you did karaoke at Hall Green that time. ?

Not stayed at the Son Bou gardens, but we went to Son Bou (San Jaimie appts) last year and it was lovely, fantastic beach, very small place really but just about enough for a fortnight for little ones, very child-oriented, enough places to eat, and the whole resort was very low-rise (apart from Pinguinos on the beach, it's all 2-3 stories max) and just green and nice. Also very close to airport so no horrible long transfer to deal with after the plane!

Jords, will check them out thanks!

CBH, yes, i sang. i sang "eternal flame" which I sang every night in Jack and the Beanstalk at HGLT (the panto that Dean wrote, I autioned for...first time we met...he cast me as Jack, we got together during the auditions and "Jack" sang it every night. So, a bit special

That Dean. What a smooth worker! ?

? Guess which character he did a cameo roll of in JATBS?

Erm - the Giant?!

I'm telling! (wooden spoon)

Nah, James Bond!

Ooooooh. So that's where the James Bond theme came in at the wedding. [sound of penny dropping] Gosh, I'm sharp, me!! ?

?

Dean's Bond mad, and Indiana Jones and Dr who...

Hence our son Harrison (IJ) James (007)

and if he'd been pink

Indiana Rose (Rose Tyler - Dr Who)

Sad, huh?

Flippin' 'eck!! And you let him get away with this?!?! ?
