My first foreign holidays were to Wales. When you grow up in the north of England, the north Wales coast is indeed a foreign country. They do things differently there. On a clear day we could see the Welsh mountains from my grandmother's house in Lancashire, and my first trips overseas – or more accurately over the River Mersey – were to spend a week in a caravan or a guesthouse in resorts like Rhyl, Prestatyn, Colwyn Bay and Gronant. Browsing through the new Lonely Planet Guide to Wales made me come over all nostalgic.
