Heard today from friends on Anna Maria Island that they are enjoying some great weather, walking along the beach and stopping off for lunch today at one of the beach front restaurants http://www.amisland.com/

In South Wales, guests at Wheatsheaf cottage enjoyed a leisurely lunch at the Neuadd Fawr Arms over in Cilycwm. The new young chef is excellent. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

Down at Torquay we stopped off a Hanbury's and ate possibly the best fish & chips in the whole of the UK. Took them up to the cliff top at Babbacombe just a few steps up the road - the view is stupendous. Sometimes the simplest things are the best. http://www.torquay.uk.com/ West Wing Cottage is as usual divine.
