For anyone who is remotely interested in our plight, we are not going to Brittany/Cornwall/Outer Hebrides but instead are having a s/c family week in a nice cottage in Suffolk. Only ?450 plus around ?30 petrol plus food. I think that will leave us some change for some nice crab suppers and ice creams. However I still have a yearning for the Scottish Isles but think this is going have to wait until we get our free bus passes.....shame really as everyone should go there before they die....
