Bank Holidays

I don't know if you have them where you live, but we have Bank holidays in the UK, usually on a Monday. These make a weekend like a lovely three-day holiday! We had one last weekend so I thought about some of the little mini trips you could arrange to enjoy the long break.

• First is a beach outing complete with palm trees and deckchairs somewhere nice and warm.
  
• Second is a weekend of camping beside a babbling brook among the lovely snow-capped mountains.
  
• Third is a forest walking trip taking in the sights, sounds and smells of the rich woodland glades.
  
• Last and probably my favourite is a relaxing trip on an old steam train across the country. My build shows it passing through a lush green cutting with trees on one side.
