"What do you remember of your childhood family holidays? It may have just been days out or a week away in a caravan or boarding house, but always an adventure.
Then there are the first holidays when we went away without our family, maybe camping with the scouts or are more adventurous holiday when we were working and independent. My first independent holiday was with friends to a failing holiday camp in Devon with its supposed 'Olympic' size swimming pool and cramped cabins. Not surprisingly, we followed the new trend the next year with a package holiday to Spain. A first going abroad and a first on a plane. Later 'firsts' were a road trip around Scotland, where it rained every day.
What first holidays do you remember for their significance? Were there any disasters, or do they stay in your mind as an amazing experience? Bring along your holiday snaps - or even postcards if you have them!"
Come to the Museum and share your memories over a cup of tea.
