Thanks girls if you two says its worth a visit I will definitely go and the castle looks brilliant plus it was the home to a count which makes it more exciting. Got so much to see over the few days I'm in Lille so will post back on my return and let you know how I've got on.

Have fun, Diane! Here's some info on the festival that I was talking about: http://gentsefeesten.be/en/program/07-28
I'm afraid that it already finishes tomorrow.

That looks like it would have been good fun. Thanks for getting the link for me. Really looking forward to thanks and thanks also to Canadian_turtle.

OH and I had a fabulous anniversary weekend in France and were so lucky with the weather, given the dire forecasts and the bad spells there have been. Such rain/storms as there were, were overnight or in the early morning/late evening; otherwise it was dry, hot and sunny - perfect for all the things we crammed in, such as a steam train trip, a cruise round the bay, visiting castles and so on. We're already planning to go back but for a week next time.

Sounds wonderful. Which part of France did you go to?

I'm planning a USA west coast road trip for October/November. Starting in San Diego and finishing in San Francisco. Any recommendations will be gratefully received.

Great choice, would go back to the West Coast in a flash! Make sure you stop off in Santa Barbara, Carmel and Monterey, and allow plenty of time for SF, there's loads to do, not least visiting all the legendary movie locations!

Over the bank holiday weekend I'm planning to visit Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Shaftesbury and the surrounding areas. what do you guys recommend to see/do here and does anyone have any tips on getting discounts on the Roman Baths and other places in the area with an entrance fee? Thank you!
