I like to spend my weekends in a small village in the South of England. July is the hottest month there, the weather is usually fine and there are no cold winds. The two small hotels are very nice, the people in the village are friendly and the food in local restaurants is really good. There are rather many people lying in the sun or swimming but I am fond of noisy and active holidays. Last summer everything was like that and I am sure everything will be the same next July.
