replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. Italy was lovely in autumn. Just enough sunshine to feel like a warm hug rather than something oppressive. #pttravel

@kate_frankie And A1: They are my favourite times to travel - decent weather, but fewer crowds, and cheaper prices! Spring is my favourite - something to look forward to after winter! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. Not usually. I tend to go to places similar or less temperate rather than chase the sun; Scotland, Norway, Iceland, Newfoundland, Tierra del Fuego. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: I do LOVE the sun! Tbh anywhere is often hotter than the UK 😂 I like Europe in Spring. I don’t really go abroad 2seek autumnal weather when its pretty here in Autumn. Only ‘cold’ I tend to do abroad is short Euro weekends away, would struggle with a long cold hol #pttravel

replying to @RooLovesTravel @RooLovesTravel @kate_frankie The darkness is getting to me, my job is not allowing me to enjoy autumn at all. I get out of pharmacy (which I have zero windows to even enjoy light) and its just darkness #pttravel

replying to @vickyinglis13 @kate_frankie A2. Though when I have followed the sun, to the Algarve, the Azores, Greece, Melbourne, Northern Spain, it has usually been in the local spring or autumn. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: I flee south in the winter to miss the worst weather. but enjoy spring / autumn weather. If heading north, tend to go in late spring ;-) I don't like the cold! #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie Yeah, we don't have children but are still constrained by the school holidays! Going to a shoulder or off season country in the summer certainly helps with the cost as well as the crowds! #pttravel

A2 As the dark evenings & mornings are setting in, I realise how much I love sunshine. Not necessarily warm, just bright. I'd take a cool place as long as the sun is shining.
We have travelled to Egypt, Canaries, Balearics and USA as a family in spring

replying to @Stromfieldadvs @Stromfieldadvs @kate_frankie I'm going to buy skis. I've said this every year + put it off because I lived in the south of England for ages. But there was always at least one day I'd have got use from them, even when I was on the Isle of Wight. #PTTravel

A2 I don't like it when it's too hot but I do like the light, so Iceland was brilliant. Only about 12-15 but with almost eternal sunlight! #pttravel

replying to @5to9traveller @5to9traveller @kate_frankie It’s so tough. Humans need light! Do you get a lunch break at least? #pttravel

replying to @Stromfieldadvs @Stromfieldadvs @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel One place I worked, people without school age kids were asked to give priority to those who had during school holidays. My friends didn't have children, but she was a teacher!

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @ChristineLozada @DiscoverCR_FL #pttravel Didn't see much of it. I was out of there and up to the Everglades ASAP. Would like to see New Orleans, though.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: Yes. As of late I have ended up in the warmer climates. Tropical storms south of the equator can span from late fall and well into spring. I respectfully enjoy mother nature in all her moods. #pttravel
