@Obelixx I will have to fly when I next go to the UK. Just can't face the journey and the expense of it again, having already driven 3 times on my own to help OH with his hip replacement in the UK, only to find it had be cancelled yet again. He's had 5 dates now and still no op. He's resident in the UK, I'm resident in France. I wish he could have had it done in France. He's now found an insurer to insure me, as non resident, to drive his car in the UK. Thanks Brexit for making it so difficult. Warning to all - when you live abroad don't fall in love with someone who lives in the UK, was fine before Brexshit.

I know you prefer to fly @Busy-Lizzie. I remember giving you my unused air miles a few years ago. I just can't see me getting on a plane with all the problems of limited baggage, airport waiting and security times, the on board circulation of everyone else's bugs in the airflow system and the lack of car at the other end ...... plus which I enjoy driving.
Have you looked at OuiGo for train tickets to Paris ad then Kayak.fr for cheap Paris to London tickets?
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

The trouble with trains is that they are so often on strike and it's expensive, more than a Ryanair ticket, getting from London to Norfolk. Ryanair is 6 - 7 hours, door to door.

Having seen the news about flights being cancelled last minute, 3 hour waits to get thru security, pilots loading baggage onto planes I wouldn't go near air transport @Busy-Lizzie. I hope your next flights go thru smoothly.

Mostly Easyjet and Gatwick or Heathrow. Never have delays with Ryanair and Stansted, only cancelled flight we've ever had was because of the first Covid lockdown. They refunded me. Maybe I've spoken too soon!

What about Bla Bla Car - @Busy-Lizzie ? I used to do this pre-Covid when driving to Switzerland or Italy to help pay the costs. You could sign up as a passenger - it's cheaper than train. Flixbus does cheap travel - if you are patient!!
Sorry for the need to be posting on here again, but sadly things are starting to look a bit bleak again. The various HM Government groups I contribute to are being reconvened, with fears that the rise in hospital admissions and therefore serious illness and death are going to start dramatically escalating. The experts I trust think it highly unlikely that the government will do anything at the moment, so it is down to you to do whatever you think is best.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
