Islands such as the Canary Islands and Majorca could be placed on the UK green list of destinations for holidaymakers, a government minister has said.
The move may happen from 7 June, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said.
I've already booked to go away to Lanzarote with TUI on June 13th. My fingers, toes, eyes, lets and arms are currently crossed in the hope I can actually get out there on that date!
Ooh so close, I hope you make itQuote:

For some its change and refresh ,yes you can stay and holiday but lets be honest the prices for are a real good hotel are off the wall , weather can be unpredictable , eating and drinking costly , and traffic , I like to have one break at home preferably wonderful Cornwall / Devon, and one sunny one in Majorca /Greece ( quiet parts ,hate those awful high rise /volume tourist spots )Quote:

Krakow Poland is on my radar usually lovely weather in the summer , some great places to visit and one of the safest countries in Europe right now . hopefully next year we can travel freely
Sadly Covid will always be with us , were on 19 now , and as you can see its becoming sophisticated in the way it can mutate .Quote:
