A hairdresser's nightmare
I'm going to be on holiday four times over the space of two months:
(1) France towards the end of May. My parents had tickets booked for a production of Noel Coward's Private lives (in French) on the 27th and, being of a more theatrical bent than my brother, I'll be accompanying my mother instead. As it happens, my visit will also coincide with Les nuits romantiques, a local music festival with some pretty starry names to its credit, so we'll be going along to that too.
(2) Norfolk towards the end of June. A dual purpose here: I'd been planning on visiting my uncle, aunt and cousins for some time, so when the opportunity came to sing at Norwich cathedral (even if for but one afternoon), I jumped at it.
(3) Jersey in early July. My mother's parents retired to the Channel Islands and we've got family business to take care of. It's been 19 years since I was last there and I'm looking forward to it tremendously.
(4) London in mid-July. The Proms beckon again, despite there being far too much Mozart for my and Luke's liking - though to our delight, the sublime Così fan tutte is among those works chosen.
Just as well I don't need a haircut for a while. Right now, "where are you going on your holidays this year?" ranks alongside "where are you from?" as a question I can do without being asked.

No, I must admit I hardly know the Isles. What are your travel plans?

*sigh* I have no travel plans:( Just some trips to the beach.
My sister has always wanted to go to Orkney, she's obsessed.
