Dorset on Saturday....I love it and the cottage belongs to friends and we get it really cheaply. Beautiful countryside, heritage beaches and quaint English villages.....and some really good waves dude 
 I enjoy a glass of red wine each night for its health benefits. The other glasses are for my exceptionally witty comebacks, sarcasm, and flawless dance moves.

Well the places I have visited that are really nice are just about anywere on the West coast of Scotland, particularly Dumfries area and further up in Glencoe are absolutely beautiful and the hills in the Glencoe valley are stunning!
The Lake District is really nice, as is Appleby. I also love the Northumberland coast.
Oooh and Torquay on the South coast is nice, if you get good weather it's a bit like being abroad, palm trees and stuff.

We do. Too much hassle otherwise!
The others do make it up to Scotland most years to see OH relations.
Other than that we've done Center Parcs Elveden and Blackpool in the last few years.

Do they still have Appleby fair? 
Everyone is talking about the closing ceremony at the Olympics and what was their favourite bit.
I just spoke to Nick Griffin, his favourite bit is today when they all fcuk off back home.

They do.
This year I've been to Morecambe in February, and then 8 days travelling around Derbyshire, Harrogate, Scarborough and Lincoln (in March), followed by a long weekend in Centreparcs (June) and last week I was on holiday on Cornwall. In November we're going to Norfolk for the weekend.
There's lots to see and do in this country, and it helps if you take waterproofs and don't depend on spending the whole time soaking up the sun on a beach.

Could i tag along?
I used to like watching River Coattage just to look at the scenary and dribble at his (Hugh Fearney Whittingwhateverhe'scalled) way of life living in the country side.
I also looked at the picture of your back garden and wonderd to myself, what the dawn chorus must sound like.
