I'm heading out of Bristol. Any recommendations on where to go? Somewhere in the UK?

Fabulous idea. However, most people just go to where their job takes them. Bournemouth and Poole offer water activities and are adjacent to pretty countryside.

Manchester offers jobs and it's not too far to The Lake District.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
