My Favourite Place in all the World

I know it would bore the pants off the vast majority of you, but I love this place - so calm, tranquil & peaceful......



We go there about twice a year to visit the monks there - a couple are really good friends - and it helps to clear all the world's dross from your head!

Throw in a bar and a paddling pool, and some sun and I'm there

It does look very peaceful Caryll.......................sorry to ask the obvious though but where is it ?

Sorry, Janey - the bell goes at 3.15am & it's lights out at 8pm. No alcohol. No pool. Just peace.

It's Mount Saint Bernard's Abbey, Coalville, Leicester. My oh got to know them many, many years ago & took me there when the kids were very young - still in a pushchair. We've stayed in the guest house quite a few times (kids as well) for a couple of nights. Wonderful way to put the world into perspective!

Ah Caryll, it's so great to have a place you can escape to that restores one's spirit.

Mine is a little place near Lyme Regis (Dorset) - it's like stepping back in time. Haven't been able to get there for 3 years though.

Where's that, then?

It's Pinewood Park, Rousdon. In the middle of nowhere, but short distance to Lyme Regis one way and Beer the other - both lovely old-world places.

Unfortunately, they won't take dogs anymore, so ....

Don't suppose they have karaoke either

No they don't Janey, sorry!

Nope.

Mind you, I won't even go to a local pub if they do karaoke!

looks ideal but to be polite I would be bored sh1tless Xx

Maybe. Maybe not.

It's surprising how quickly the 'feel' of the place seeps into you. I grant you, it wouldn't be good for you to stay there for more than a night or two - but who knows, it may do you the power of good.

BIG downside, though..........Moo couldn't go.

Wouldn't do for us all to be the same would it.

Mind you Janey, I do like a bit of karaoke - my voice is spectacular - Well so I believe, although Simon Cowell hasn't signed me up yet

But no karaoke at my "favourite place", that's another place altogether. Except that Kuchar can't go there, and nor would Moo.

No holiday without the Moo

Mine is that bad I know it is no matter how smashed I am. Comes to something when I can't even sound good to myself even when I so drunk I can hardly walk

Yeah funny how it happens isn't it, I don't quite understand it - more beer, better voice - works every time though

I can't pin point my favorite place.

I know that i cried for like 2 weeks when i left america, but now i hate it (no offence to my american comrades!)

i think its london. i really love london. only the posh part though, obviously.

Looks like a lovely place :-)

it looks like a very tranquil place

I'm with Janey , if they decide to accept dogs , install a bar I might think about it though , and for the record , surely Karaoke is long time dead now
