So we made it! We survived the big sleep out for Streetlife! 🎉

The night started with an unexpected hailstorm and then for the rest of the night the wind (and rain at times) was relentless.
As always, a very humbling experience. Very grateful to have a hot shower and bed to go home to but of course that isn’t everybody’s reality.

Thank you to everyone who supported me and the Beaverbrooks the Jewellers team 💜 for raising vital funds for Streetlife.

Everything raised is matched by our wonderful employer too 💎💜

I think I am thankful for Shari Fox and Kim Hughes for persuading me to do a second year. (Will come back to you on that one) 😂

So for anyone out there who hasn’t donated and still wants to or wanted to check I would see it out please tap on the link below and donate to my just giving page!

I for one am very excited for what the next few days hold when we learn that we can travel again, in whatever capacity that is and to wherever, WE CAN actually travel again!!

If looking to arrange your holidays, please, please don't book online even though you think its fine there's always a risk with the internet! Book with a person, whether that's through a shop or (which I'd rather) through us here at Travel Counsellors. Booking on the internet does not have certainties in the following areas : financial protection, customer welfare when it all goes messy again, a person to talk to only a chatbot and i have to say how bloody annoying is the 'computer says no response!' Remember! If its cheap and too good to be true it probably is!
Here at Travel Counsellors we negotiate amazing contracts and offers, work with hundreds and hundreds of suppliers, and we offer you FULL financial protection in the event of any failures. Your very own Travel Counsellor is there for you every single step of the way. How do i know? We have worked solidly through this pandemic assisting customers . No furlough and no pay because we are self employed but we have ensured we are speaking and meeting with our customers to reassure you and be there for you. Make sure you check us out! We don't win all these awards for nothing :) x

Some very positive hints about travel coming from a knowledgeable source .....🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻Please note this is not confirmed!

Published by Paul Charles on Twitter:-

“Let’s start with 17th May. What’s likely?

Firstly, do not underestimate the impact of the removal of the Permission To Travel Form from 17th May. This means anyone can travel overseas without needing a reason, and you won’t be interrogated North Korea-style by armed police at the airport. Many people will be happy to travel to countries rated as amber, and then self-isolate when they return to England.

Secondly, I understand the Government will reveal which countries are in the new traffic light colours of red, amber and green on either 6th or 7th May. As global data is updated on a Thursday each week, this enables the Government to take stock of the latest data on 6th May and then publish its thoughts on how countries will be rated. It doesn’t want to reveal the country ratings before then and be held responsible for making the wrong call.

I still understand from my high-level sources, and believe, that all of Europe, and countries such as Turkey, will be either amber or green in the first coloured-in traffic light map. Countries that will possibly be green include Israel, Barbados, Morocco, Maldives, Seychelles, Grenada, St. Lucia, Antigua and the British Overseas Territories of Bermuda, Turks & Caicos, Falkland Islands, St. Helena and a clutch of others. As such, it’s highly likely 20- 30 countries could be green from the outset.

The USA will go green before 4th July Independence Day, as Biden re-opens borders to the British as part of a reciprocal deal.

At the same time as the traffic lights announcement in early May, the Government will be publishing a COVID-19 charter, outlining consumer rights on travel. This will cover off what consumers can expect if a country changes colour at short notice and how they can seek a refund or rebook.

Vaccinations and testing

On top of this flurry of imminent announcements, it’s certain the government will reveal more about how those who have been fully vaccinated will be able to escape some of the restrictions such as self-isolation at home for 10 days when returning from an amber country. A test may still be needed but people who are fully vaccinated will not need to face the same, onerous stay-at-home order as those who haven’t been fully jabbed. Cabinet Office papers confirm this is being studied in detail.

The US has already led the way here, saying that US citizens who’ve been fully jabbed don’t have to quarantine at all when they get back to the US but merely have to take a PCR test on day 3 of their return.

When and where can we go?

Then, on 10th May, the Prime Minister is expected to give the go-ahead for travel overseas to begin. This is the one-week notice period he has already set out before embarking on the next phase of removing lockdown restrictions.

Then you have your checkpoints as referred to earlier. This will enable long-haul countries to be opened up at each stage, if all goes to plan on vaccine rollout and infection/variant reduction.

So, this suggests 28th June would see the US opened up. 31st July would see transit hubs such as Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi re-opened; and 1st October would see a plan for re-opening access to Australia and New Zealand, in line with Qantas already announcing plans to restart international flights from this time.

All of this sounds remarkably like the Global Travel Taskforce will deliver a coherent plan for rebuilding overseas travel – let’s hope the Government sticks to it.”

Having just renewed 3 kids passports and a new passport for my youngest, I just wanted to make you all aware that there is up to a 10 week wait for applications.

Should you be planning on a Summer Holiday this year, all being well we will be, now is the time to get your application in.

Please also be warned that if you are travelling within the EU, then you must have at least 6 months on it's expiry date.

TC Ted has renewed and is ready to depart! 🤞

The events of the past year have taught us many things, including the fact that being able to spend quality time with family and friends has never felt so important.

We’ve missed exploring the world with the people that mean the most to us and as we look forward, I’ll keep your wellbeing at the heart of everything I do.

I hope you enjoy reliving your travel memories with us as you watch our film, and when you’re ready to travel again I’ll be here for you, both for trips around the UK, and to distant shores.
