Staycations and Coolcations Are the New Ways to Holiday

This year, I’ve taken my holidays in Whitstable, Kent, where I live. I’ve swum in the unusually warm sea, and dined out locally using the money saved on an exorbitantly priced overseas vacation. I’m so tanned, people have asked if I’ve been to Spain or Greece. With temperatures rising, and the biggest fire season in European history, I may soon have more company in opting for a staycation.
