00:00Thank you, so it's Alistair from the Sheffield Star and we're no more than out here asking people today what they're going to do with their summer holidays.
00:06Have you got plans at all?
00:07Yes.
00:08Ooh, what are you thinking?
00:09We are doing three weeks. We do Faze, Adventure Week and Two Weeks in France.
00:15Ooh, that's pretty good. Have you banked up holidays all year to make that happen? Alright, saved it up.
00:21Yeah, yeah. This seems to be our annual adventure, so why not while the children also have three weeks?
00:27The strategy each year, bank it up, make it a big three weeks. It's the meta, tell people how to do it properly.
00:32Two weeks is lovely, but three weeks just gives you that extra time to think.
00:36I think you're rubbing it in. I've only got two weeks.
00:38About three weeks feels like six when you're in the middle of it, you just forget about everything. How about yourself?
00:42I've got two weeks. We're going to Turkey, well there's eight of us going, so I'm going with my family and some very close friends.
00:51So yes, sunshine, beach, boat trips, that sort of thing.
00:56Is it, takes a lot of planning or is it all quite off the cuff, like how much time do you have to put into making this happen?
01:02We went last year and we loved it lots. We don't normally go back to the same place, but we decided this year to go back.
01:08So ours was quite an easy, let's just find two weeks that were free and we'll book it.
01:14Yours is probably more complex.
01:15We've done this now for like three or four years, so, but it's planning the itinerary of when you land to then where you go next.
01:23So apart from that, but that's the exciting part.
01:27Well, I have been to the Downwell Festival last week and I'm going to see Paul in a few weeks' time.
01:38And just going out with you and spending lots of time with you and, you know, just having lots of fun.
01:50Are you going to plant yourself at all?
01:53I've got a little boy, so like taking him to like different places and things like that.
01:57There's like different parks and stuff, always looking for places to take him.
02:00And I'm also going to Benidorm at some point and getting away from the UK for a little while.
02:05But yeah, just doing loads of like family activities and things like that.
02:09When you've got summer holiday plans, do you prefer to be out of the country or stay here in the UK?
02:13I prefer to be out of the country, but I've just got a house.
02:18I don't know whether that will be happening, but hopefully sooner rather than later we can have a look at going somewhere nice and safe.
02:27That all sounds like a lot of fun, like a lot of things back to back that will be just on their own.
02:31Brilliant. How about yourself?
02:32No, it just depends what's going on in the UK, what the weather's like.
02:35But to be honest, I've not been abroad for five years.
02:38I've just been here for the first time in five years.
02:40So normally I find something to do in the UK, just get up in the morning and hang out.
02:45Yeah, so this summer we're going to be going to Sweden, me and my wife.
02:49She's got family out there.
02:51So we usually go and see them in the summer to celebrate, catch up with family, catch up with friends.
02:56It's nice to get away from Shetland for a while as much as we love it.
03:00But yeah, it's a nice place to go.
03:03More of a reliable plan you've done rather than trying something new, I suppose?
03:06Yeah, yeah. I mean, we might try some new stuff while we're out there,
03:09but it's always nice to have a place to return to when we do go to Sweden.
03:14Yeah.
