It's that time again

The Sun newspaper is running the first of its regular £9.50 holiday promotions for this year as I write.

For us unless we are lucky enough to secure a half-term week that means a short weekend, leaving London on Friday afternoon after the kids have finished school, and returning on Sunday night in time for them to go back on Monday. I always feel a tad cheated when this happens, missing the last night of our booking, but one mustn't be selfish.

This time we decided to let the kids choose and interestingly both of them opted for Landguard, a neat little site in Shanklin of which more another time. Other choices (one is required to list a minimum of four) were Fairway, Rookley Country Park, Thorness Bay and Whitecliff Bay.

There was a time when I felt disappointed not to draw our site of choice out of the hat. Now we feel at home at any of them.

Our tokens go off in the post next week and all will be revealed soon, no doubt.
