I’ll be staying in the UK this summer and not going abroad – here’s why

WE had no spring. It just kept on raining. And it was cold. So it’s not surprising that travel companies are reporting a huge surge in demand for foreign holidays this summer.

But before you sign on the dotted line, might I suggest you have a think.

Last weekend, the rain meant I couldn’t do any farming, so Lisa and I decided to get a bit of sunshine in Madrid. Nice, yes?

There was a time when this sort of thing was easy.
