Cambridge, Newcastle., Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow...could go on....doesn't matter where. Just get on the train or in the car and drive....to somewhere in Britain as apposed to abroad....Our country/Islands has/have so much to offer and so much to see. We think the sun is so important but we have so much more to offer than we know.

When we have done all that....then go abroad.
