MotorBoater Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 The wife has just spent three days of the last four watching Midsummer Murders, afternoon and weekends. It occurs to me that in spite of DCI Barnaby's best efforts there can't be many residents left so I think that might be a good place to self-isolate. The village shops and pubs are still open at the moment. Where would you like to be - if you couldn't choose the broads ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I would always choose Hope Cove in Devon even over the Broads. Regards Alan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQ Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Here in Norfolk, the only thing better would be to have a river or broad at the bottom of the garden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 It would be the broads,that's where we hope to move to next year.It would be lovely on the river with moorings. So we could sit on the boat and take in the river. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also intend to move to Norfolk in two years time although we are now seriously thinking of bringing this forward. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I am happy with where I am, indeed I feel at home here and eternally grateful for that privilege. The view from the end of our garden. Why on earth would I not want to self isolate here! With our big skies the Broads can be stunningly beautiful. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I think I would like to be out at sea, on the open ocean, on a voyage which started before the virus took hold. I have spent months at sea before now, and I love it. BUT NOT ON A CRUISE SHIP! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEM Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Ibiza - Cala Mastella: But not such a good idea at the moment as they have big restrictions & going to any beach is not an option. This was September 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 During my 30 years in the travel business I've been around the world a number of times. I'm lucky to have visited just about everywhere I ever wanted to, with the odd exception. I've never been to Kashmir, and would have loved to have visited the houseboats on Dal Lake, Srinigar. I had it planned a couple of times but tensions in the region which is disputed between India and Pakistan caused my plans to be cancelled. Likewise I've never been to Samarkand, again I was due to do so on a Silk Road tour but local unrest meant this part of the tour was missed and we ended up stuck in Tashkent for several days. As I wasn't paying I could hardly complain and it did give me the chance to experience a flight in a Mig 29. About the only other place I never visited, surprisingly was Italy and whilst the longer haul destinations might have passed me by I do plan to catch up on Italy one day, perhaps a self drive grand tour? Of all the places I visited I was always glad to be heading home with one exception, and that was the Seychelles. Somewhat surprising for me as beach resorts are generally not high on my list but I loved the Seychelles and if I could choose where to be locked down then it would be there. Perhaps the island of La Digue, which was delightful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
