Husband and I went to the Lake District one year loved it. Also liked Cornwall anywhere in England is beautiful. I wish I got to see and explore more but every year we all pack up and drive to Latvia via the ferry for a month. Until the war happened we’d also go to Belarus to see my great-grandparents. My paternal side grandparents who were from there fled to London in the 40s set up home in the East end like most did where my Dad and his sisters were born and then when they became citizens and made a few bob went to live in Bournemouth to get out of the pollution of London then ended up retiring in the Forest of Dean. Now that place is magical. But saying that so is Tower Hamlets in the Eastend where they lived just different. Bournemouth is stunning in the summer (ignore the winos) Josie is missing out on such wonderful places permanently gluing herself to the CotswoldsThe south coast and Dorset is really lovely. Overlooked by international visitors I feel which is a shame. So many people head to London then Cotswolds . The lakes in the north are nice too although probably too far to bother doing from London .
