    Default Holidays. When do you take them?

    Just throwing it out there to see if anyone has holidays this time of the year?
    We are now looking at taking holidays June to July from now on.
    This seems to be the slowest part of the year for us.

    I always try to have a couple of weeks off this time of year,
    Also take a couple of weeks mid January when it's too hot to mow or the grass to grow

    I normally have a couple of weeks in May then another couple in August or September. This year was a little different as I had three weeks in May to go to UK and Europe so I will only take one week at the end of August.

    Ha ha ,,,actually makes up for not having holidays. Every time myself and the lovely decide to take time off it gets cancelled. Either no money , to busy or my wife ends up having to work. Which makes me think I should organize my own holiday ......to say somewhere like .......Eden.
