Hiya KT, spent a warm day driving round Hull listening to your CD (What a voice! Please come and give a gig in Hull), which disappeared into Lorcan's stuff, and the dear fellow sent on to me by post.

I digress. Eurostar Premier Class London - Paris (Stay in Claridges in London and George V in Paris), and then Orient Express to Venice (Stay nowhere other than the Cipriani). Or you could try Clacton, which is nice and quiet out of season. We went to both on our 20th wedding anniversary, but mercifully we flew over Clacton at 4,000ft
