After thinking about it for quite a while, I have finally booked my first JY holiday. It is well in advance, but I really liked the look of this new holiday. It is only 6 days, which should be ok for the first break on my own. I am 75 years young, a widower for 2 years, and love travel, food and wine, so this one seemed perfect. I love France, and visited many times with my wife in the past, but never to Bordeaux itself and the surrounding area .
If anyone is going or thinking about booking, please get in touch, as I am a bit nervous about the thought of my first single venture.
Hi Alfie
Having read your message above, I too love travel food and wine and have never travelled alone before, so I may follow your example!! I too am widowed and a sprightly almost 70 year old! It would be good to hear more from you
Hi Old Batt,
Sounds a bit rude calling you "Old Batt", but I like the name !!
I lost my wife in July 2013 , after she was diagnosed with lung/liver cancer, but then died after only one month, from a massive stroke.
With the total support of my 3 children/9 grandchildren, I have travelled quite a lot since then, mainly with them or old friends, some of whom are also widows. However, I like meeting new people, and this Just You break seemed a great way to start.
I live in Leigh-on-Sea (near Southend) in Essex, and am lucky to have all my family within a mile, so I see a great deal of all of them.
Anyway, it would be very nice to hear back from you at some time.
Best wishes,
John
