Its ironic - I found this summer far too hot to actually do anything - even ride my Tmaxs - but now the wind is blowing trees and caravans around and the metoffice have severe weather warnings for every day, I'm feeling nostalgic for the hot summer!

We have had three winters in Spain, October to April, first two were ok but last one was quite wet, windy and had snow on Alicante beach! Plus you have long evenings as dark by 18.00 and soon cools off when sun goes down, lots of brits go on rallies, but not really our scene like to move around a bit, believe it or not it's getting hard to find places as over run with Dutch and Germans

Me and wife had 2 weeks in France was way too hot for me we got off Ferry in Portsmouth heading home and we both cheered at Newbury when got rain spots on the screen .

I only booked France in first place to get some chance of nice weather .Would have been better off in UK

I do. Just booked 8 days in Spain going on the 23rd coming back on the 1Oct. Went to same hotel in June. Get away from all the Brexit arguing. No papers and no TV at all on holiday, don't care if the world comes to an end, as long as I can have a swim, and a drink and a good cigar I will be happy.

We were in at Gibraltar yesterday, it's a sea day today and we've got the day in Villefranche tomorrow. Then it's on to a couple of Italian ports for Florence and Rome.

There's three Formal Evenings on this cruise where I have to wear a dinner suit, but I'm an old hand at this dressing up game now. The ladies enjoy getting their posh frocks on, and it's a small price to pay a very nice cabin, great food, evening entertainment, an unlimited drinks package, and free wifi.

It certainly beat slumming it in a small tent on a Euro campsite where there's no plugs in the sinks or basins, fellow campers seem incapable of taking a dump without pebble dashing the back of the toilet bowls with their shit, or leaving a ton of shredded toilet paper on the floor.

Wouldn't expect anything less Mr Meldrew I paid extra £20 each way on ferry to go to Belfast for the Stena plus Lounge free drinks and finger food.Only thing didn't like was having to walk through other normal lounge and use same toilet as them .Bridget looked after me all the way .

The last time my wife put a posh frock on, was 20 years ago it was a long white one with a lovely veil.
