Chortle Chook Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 My passport has expired and I find it hard to take time off work (just too scared of the work pile up) but I love taking day or weekend trips around the UK. I've lived abroad and travelled quite a lot when I was younger, but for now I am quite happy with the variety in this country - even on my very doorstep. We are so lucky in the UK to have such amazing changes within just 10 miles or so. One day, however, I mean to travel again and go to Norway and Cambodia, South America and Northern India on the sort of trips where you do things like walk lots to see a rare tulip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Related but not exactly on topic...I had to go to the Lake District for work a fortnight ago. Never been before and was blown away by how stunning it was. I wished I'd taken leave up there too. Would REALLY recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
