JollyDays Supported Holidays - Blog

  Excited and happy, we all set off on our journey to the brilliant Blackpool.  We arrived at our comfortable and spacious bungalows and made ourselves at home!  We set the holiday off with a bang by having a fantastic dinner in a local pub and finishing the night off with some Jollydays dancing in the club house on site!   Throughout the week we got up to lots of exciting things.  With our Big Ticket, we took a plunge into the medieval past of the Tower Dungeons, learning all about the ancient forms of torture!  We had an amazing experience in the 4D cinema, ducking from seagulls and riding the waves - what fun!  On another morning we enjoyed the Aquarium, seeing hundreds of different species of sea creatures! We all loved the impressively large lobsters reaching out towards the glass with their huge nippers!  We got to hold the star fish and feel their bobbly surface - what a wonderful experience.    We had a cracking visit ...

  Another whirl of a week on the Isle of Wight!  Blessed with beautiful blue skies on most days, we took in the sites of the Needles, looking out across Allum Bay.  We watched the glass blowing demonstrations and saw some wonderful vases being created right in front of our eyes!  Everybody loved watching this creative process.  We enjoyed the spectacle of Waltzing Waters, a fantastic light and water show.  There were lots of "ooo's and ahhh's!"   Our trip to the Donkey Sanctuary was loved by everyone - we even got to stroke them.  Some of them were very soft.  We all loved the way their ears twitched!  Barbara even got a kiss on the cheek from one of the Donkeys!   Ten pin bowling spurred on some impressive scores, with the girls putting the boys to shame!  On one morning we took a trip into the delightful little town of Godshill and wandered around the Model Village which was loved by all.  It was ...

We enjoyed some crazy golf, ten pin bowling, games of pool, table tennis and several invigorating strolls down by the lovely lake.  We had such fun kayaking - splashing around and trying to steer together!  We enjoyed the atmosphere of the swimming pool - some of us went for a relaxing swim whilst others experienced the exciting Tropical Cyclone rapids!  We all tried our hands at tennis and badminton and enjoyed several competitive games - everyone got into the sporting spirit!  On one afternoon we hired bikes out and r...

What a fantastic week away we had at our Luxury Spa Resort.  Throughout our week away we had several wonderful treatments which left us feeling thoroughly relaxed and revitalised!  The beauticians were extremely friendly and made us all laugh! We enjoyed eating lots of delicious food, finding beautiful little pubs and restaurants in the local area.  We admired the historic Colchester Castle and Hollytree's museum, explored the village of Dedham and went to Flatford Mill.  What a wonderful holiday we had, and went home full feeling totally refreshed.
