My days of proper holidays are pretty much behind me for now I suspect but I am heading to er...the Midlands (see I told you this wasn't going to be quite like my multi country holidays of the past!) to house and rabbit-sit for my sister and her family.
Ten days with a big house and all the trappings yada, yada, yada all to myself... but to be honest I'm not looking forward to it, in fact I am heading there in some degree of trepidation to say the least.
Firstly the crap car had done it's 'thing' again and last week decided to present 'braking issues'. As I consequence, with no money to get it fixed I have to drive all the way there on the 'A' routes at a slow speed, in case the situation arises where I have to rely on my gear box and a degree of clever maneuvering to come to a halt!
Secondly, I am a wimp and I don't like being alone for long periods, particularly not when I'm not on top 'happy form'. The thought of ten days, 24/7 completely on my own (save for the rabbit), in a mostly alien town where I know absolutely no-one, actually pretty much scares me rigid but it has to be done.
I will have plenty to keep me occupied, a big house to spring clean, an allotment to attend too (Oh I know how to live!)and a rabbit which I suspect I might turn into a house rabbit for the duration but I think by the time I get back I will probably be well practiced in the
Be warned...if you 'twitter' prepare to have to tolerate much of me over the next short while!!

There are some nice places to visit in the west midlands, we go out most weekends. Depending on where your are and how far you want to travel, go and have a look on my site, just click the out and about
Sounds like a nice get-away. I'm assuming there will be rabbit pictures. :)
I would thoroughly enjoy that I think - do you want to come and do my job, live/put up with LOML and I'll rabbit-sit?

I'm looking forward to the tweet fest
