Hey all,

2nd anniversary is just around the corner, anyone have any advice/experience?

I was thinking on going away somewhere, but not too far, perhaps around the South England area (i live in N London). Price not <I>too</I> important, any ideas?

Cheers,
Cem

What about one of those Mystery, Suspense and (S)laughter weekends?

A girl I used to work with went on one and she said it was brilliant.

Further details from: 020 8367 6793

Treat her to a lovely weekend in the capitol of Wales and it's surrounding countryside.

Living in this part of the world, I can recommend coming this weekend as the scenery is particularly nice at this time of year


Failing that Devon and Cornwall are nice. Get a cottage with a log fire, bottle of wine or two and BINGO.

There's an organisation called The Landmark Trust that rent out distinctive and unique buildings (often listed status) for weekends or mid weeks. They range in size from 1 to 8 bedrooms but you do normally have to book up WELL in advance. Sorry I don't have a phone number for them but I think there's a web site.

Apparently none of the buildings have phones or TVs so you can really get away from it. Pretty good if you want something quiet and romantic...

I can recommend Amberley Castle, its west sussex, about 1/2 hour from Arundel

Its a private castle, and its very nice!

Where I got married this year, so at least its easy for me to know where to go for anniversary's!

Live a life of luxury at the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne. You could even take the manager out in your new toy (I took him out in mine and he seemed to enjoy it)!

Thumbs up

Landmark Trust phone number is (01628) 825925

My wife and I had our honeymoon in one of these properties (Gothic Temple at Stowe), arrived the day of the British GP at Silverstone (about 2 miles down the road) but luckily in the evening and all the queues had gone!

I highly recommend these guys.

You could go for a weekend at one of those health spa places where they pamper you all weekend...

... or you could send her there and play with the Evo.

Well mate your doing great so far, after all you have remembered.

Why not a weekend in Paris or Rome, flights are cheap this time of year, both are cities of romance and the strong pound means it'll be cheaper than the UK.

You should work for a travel company - you are overselling Croydon - it's not that nice
