A green half term holiday? Save me a sunbed!
So who fancies spending half term somewhere gorgeously warm and sunny, then?
Thought so. I’ll be spending half term in lovely frosty Cavan, (yup, I spent ten extra minutes of the school bus run yesterday hysterically chipping ice off the windscreen) but hey, I can dream…
As I mentioned before, I’m loving Thomson’s new Holidays Forever brand. And just when I’m adjusting to life here, and wondering if I can get away with putting the heating on again, those rotters at Thomson sent me the info on this place, Turtle Bay Beach Club, Kenya.
My dream half term. Seriously.
On Monday, then, I’d pack the boys off to learn all about Turtle Bay’s ‘Save the Turtle’ campaign (how cute is that?).
Tuesday, I’d send them on a treasure hunt around the resort to find all the original art made of objects washed up on the beach, like the gorgeous mosaics made from small squares of discarded flip flops.
Wednesday, they could check out the furniture, all made from recycled canoes.
Thursday, I’d let them loose in the very gorgeous ten acres of National Marine Park surrounding the resort.
Friday, they could go for a snorkel on the stunning private beach that’s recently been voted the fifth best beach in the world
Saturday they could take part in the ‘beach clean up’, where guests are encouraged to pick up seaweed and debris, with a prize for the person who collects the most.
Sunday, I’d let them have a bit of R&R, you know, seeing as we’re on holiday and all.
And me? You’ll find me on a sunbed, with a trashy novel and a mojito.
Cheers. Now if you’d all like to post me a tenner, that should just about cover it and I’ll be on my way.

I live in Townsville, North Queensland, Australia, and I LOVE my life up here, but I do actually fantasize about snow, mist, open fire places etc.
Usually in the cyclone season in January, 200% humidity and lots of water, then lots of sun & steam. Oh well, that’s what makes the trees so green!
Nah, I lie, I’m just rubbing it in!
I’m sure it has its downsides, but still! x
