I had planned to go to Newcastle in September, but it looks like it'll more like be October. Our lawyer thinks there is a fair chance the judge will want to speak to my father and uncle again. She had expected him to make the request shortly after my uncle and aunt had to react to something a couple of weeks ago. We haven't heard from him and I don't want to take the risk of being on vacation when my father has to go to court.

So now I'm looking at where I want to go in January. I want to go to a bungalow park and I've narrowed it down to two.

1. The Waterparc Veluwemeer. I went there last January, I love it. Pros: as long as you don't book an apartment on the ground floor you have a lot of privacy. Nice spacious apartment with all the mod cons. A good supermarket. Good bus connection to the nearby towns. Each bungalow has it's own router, you don't have to share the wifi with all of the park. Drawback: no fireplace. In January it is always quiet and can feel a bit deserted.

2. Nearby the town of Putten. The first park my sister and I went to together. Pros: fireplace. The bungalows have been updated recently. In the woods. Okay supermarket. Good bus connection to Putten. Cons: less privacy because the bungalows are closer together and without leaves on trees and shrubs. No oven.

The prices aren't available yet for January, but iirc it's fairly similar.

At the moment I'm leaning towards number 1, mostly because of the privacy and solitude but also because the standard apartment spacious and has everything I need. But having a fireplace and seeing the forest animals also has it's appeal.
