With Christmas just around the corner and the momentum gathering speed, the last thing on my mind would be booking next years summer holidays.

Traditionally in the UK, holiday advertising starts in earnest on Boxing Day. While Dad’s at the football match, Mum sits down, feet up, Snowball and twiglets at the ready, in front of the box, watching the LunPoly adverts. It’s a far cry from Brussel sprouts and the soaking ovenware littering the kitchen.

However, it would appear that there are a few well prepared and forward planning individuals out there, if the amount of emails I have recieved over the last week are anything to go by. I wouldn’t call it a deluge but it has taken me by surprise a bit.

Unfortunately, they all want the same 2 weeks in August, which have long since gone to a family that have been holidaying with us for the past 10 years. But, being positive, I feel that it is an encouraging start!

It would be so useful to us holiday-providers, if a new calender was devised. One that ensured  there were at least three August’s in every year. If Julius Caesar can do it 2 millennia ago, I’m sure Tony Blair could! What a brilliant legacy!
