The new home of
At the heart of the West Country, Somerset''s rolling hills, deep gorges and flowing rivers tell the tales of myths and legends.
From castles, abbeys and museums, to classic English houses and gardens, this is rural England at its best, and with such a wide range of things to see and do, a cottage holiday here provides the perfect base from which to explore the area.
Begin your visit to Somerset by exploring some of the area''s rich heritage, starting off with the enigmatic Glastonbury Tor. Sitting high above the land like a beacon, it holds stories of the legends of King Arthur and the Holy Grail. At the base of the Tor lie the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, set in 36 acres of beautiful parkland and ponds it''s the perfect destination for a family day out. There''s an abundance of historical places in the region so take the time to explore as many as possible, especially Wells Cathedral and the Roman Baths and its museum.
If you can tear yourself away from exploring Somerset''s past there's a lot more to explore. Longleat Safari Park is just one of the many animal attractions in the area, but you can also get up close and personal with magnificent shire horses birds of prey and marine life.
From the open expanses of gardens and ancient oak woodlands to sparkling rivers and sandy beaches, Somerset is a haven for lovers of the great outdoors. There are some great natural wonders to explore and with its steep inclines, dramatic peaks and amazing views, Cheddar Gorge makes an ideal location for walkers, climbers, cavers and sightseers alike. Lazy afternoon picnics can be enjoyed, and there''s a superb selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes cooking up fresh local produce so you can take a night off from cooking. You could even make a night of it and go see a show at the 17th century Theatre Royal in Bath.
Take a look at our selection of holiday cottages in Somerset today.

These attractive holiday cottages (refs W43592 and W43593) are situated on the owners' dairy farm, surrounded by fields and open views. They have been renovated and converted from old farm buildings, and each stands detached with its own private patio and seating area. They are ideally situated for exploring the many attractions in this beautiful part of the West Country, rich in history and heritage. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walking, cycles can be hired nearby at Bradford-on-Avon, where you can go for lovely rides along the canal towpath, or perhaps you would prefer to hire a narrow boat. Within easy reach are the stone circles of Avebury and Stonehenge; Avebury is the focus of a cluster of ancient monuments including West Kennet Long Barrow, one of Britain's largest Stone Age burial sites, and Silbury Hill. Stonehenge, monolithic and mysterious, is part of the same World Heritage site as Avebury and is the most sophisticated stone circle in the world. The beautiful Georgian city of Bath, 8 miles, provides a fantastic day out. Visit the Roman Baths, The Pump Rooms, the beautiful Abbey, relax and be pampered at the Thermae Spa or just go shopping! There are open topped bus tours to take you around the city and also boat trips along the River Avon. The attractive town of Bradford-on-Avon, 3 miles, dates back to the 1600s, and its Tithe Barn and Saxon Church are well worth a visit. The streets provide a wonderful selection of shops, tearooms, pubs and restaurants. Cheddar Gorge has limestone cliffs towering 450 feet above a gorge which is 3 miles long, and its caves are underground cathedrals of stalagmites and stalactites. Longleat Safari and Adventure Park is a an ideal day out for all the family. Wiltshire's most famous gardens are found at Stourhead (NT), where a central lake and classical temples were laid out between 1741 and 1780. Lacock and Castle Combe are often used as historic filming locations, and the cathedrals at Wells and Salisbury are within easy reach. Shop and pub 1 mile, restaurant 200 yards.

Sweet Briar Cottage is situated in the small Village of Holford, a lovely picturesque village on the edge of the Quantocks, about 14 miles from Bridgwater. This semi-detached holiday cottage is in the perfect location for all year round breaks - having a woodburner in the living room makes it perfect for cosy evenings in. There are many walks from the cottage, and from the bridge, guests can see two streams converging, one of which has flowed from Holford Combe and the other from Hodders Combe. It was in this glen that the Huguenots settled and began their silk weaving factory. Holford Glen was also used during the filming of the film 'Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves' starring Kevin Costner. The Quantock Hills (AONB) are an area of wilderness and tranquillity. Panoramic views lead you through coast, heath and combe. Explore and you will find rocky Jurassic coastline, exposed heathland summits, deep wooded combes, undulating farmland and attractive villages all within this protected landscape. The cottage is a short drive (or a fabulous 2½ mile walk) from the village of Nether Stowey, with its range of shops and pubs. Places of interest include Coleridge Cottage and Dunster Castle (both NT), the Somerset Levels, Glastonbury Tor, Wells Cathedral, Cheddar Gorge and Taunton. Beach 2 miles. Shop 2½ miles, pub and restaurant 100 yards.

This detached, converted holiday barn lies in the grounds of the owner's beautifully landscaped garden, featuring ponds, waterfalls, seating areas and backs onto open fields. It is located in a tiny village, just 2 miles from Wedmore, which has an excellent range of clothing and food shops. Wedmore is about 20 miles south of Bristol and 30 miles south west of Bath.

...am I forgetting any other considerations?
Well, price and time convenience are in there someplace.
For itineraries with domestic connections - JFK, Newark, Philly, etc. - you gain the advantage of not having to stop someplace in Europe to go through Schengen immigration, run around some unfamiliar airport, then take a second flight while you're jetlagged, then going through customs at BCN. That's good.
What's bad is that you're longer overall in transit, and from the west coast you'll have to get to SFO (or maybe SJC) in the early morning in order for the transcontinental (domestic) flight to get to the east coast in time for the transfer to the BCN transatlantic flight. So traffic, etc. has to be factored in. In addition, those Calif > east coast > BCN itineraries will put you in Barcelona in the early morning, often before hotels are ready to accept traveling zombies.
By flying straight to Europe from the Bay Area you'll depart in the late afternoon or early evening, and arrive in Europe the late morning or early afternoon. After going through whatever border controls you encounter (which will vary depending on what city you use for the transfer) your connecting flight will depart around lunchtime or later, putting you into Barcelona in the late afternoon or early evening, just in time for zombie + pillow. To me, that would be preferable, even if the plane change is a little more stressful (possibly a terminal change, etc.)
Coming back it's the reverse. You'd have to leave BCN in the early morning, or maybe even the night before, in order to get to your connecting airport in time for the transatlantic flight to the west coast, which mostly leave in the morning or around noon at the latest. Flights to the east coast can leave later, but then you go through the US border business somewhere in the east, followed by a longish wait then a very long flight to the west coast. (Westbound flights both transatlantic and transcontinental take at least an hour longer due to headwinds.) Earlier this week I was flying Edinburgh > Newark > Seattle with a 3 1/2 hour layover in Newark to go through immigration and customs. Well, for a variety of (mainly BS) reasons my Seattle flight was delayed so that instead of arriving at 9:30 PM local (5:30 AM in Scotland) we pulled up at 1:00 AM (9 AM). Crispy critter doesn't even come close.
So for me, I'd opt for the SF > Europe > BCN alternative in both directions. Faster, less wear and tear on the old body, and in general the long-haul service (SF > Europe > SF) will have more amenities and a marginally more comfortable seat than the domestic segments if you travel via the east coast.
From SFO you have a few choices nonstop to Europe. KLM flies to Amsterdam, Lufthansa and United to Frankfurt, British Airways to London, Swiss International to Zurich, and Air France to Paris.
Of that list I'd probably put Air France at the bottom because I'm not crazy about connections at CDG, and probably BA at the top, because connections at Heathrow (Terminal 5) are quite easy (and no Schengen immigration, so just security.) Zurich could be close behind, and Swiss have a quality product. I just spent some (un)quality time at FRA last week and am learning to dislike that airport intensely; Amsterdam is easy but ginormous.
But prices might make a difference too, as well as frequent flyer loyalties. That's a lot of miles to walk away from if you don't pay attention.

You'll get FF miles if you fly on a partner/alliance member of the airline you already hold FF miles with.

The two One World airlines are BA (see Gardyloo above) and Iberia.
I like Iberia because it's SFO-JFK-BCN.
BA would be SFO-LHR-BCN.
I personally enjoy the JFK stopover. I'd only go through LHR for the Scrumpy Jack.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/17/13 -- The combination of policy uncertainty and political gridlock in the United States following the 2012 election could harm economic growth in Canada, warns a new series of essays from the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian think-tank.
"While Canadians are not allowed to vote in U.S. elections, our fortunes and prosperity are intimately affected by the electoral decisions of our American neighbours," said Jason Clemens, Fraser Institute executive vice-president and co-editor of The U.S. Election 2012: Implications for Canada.
"Polls in Canada consistently show overwhelming support for President Obama, but his re-election combined with a divided Congress and the policies likely to be implemented over the next four years present a number of real, immediate risks to Canada-as well as opportunities."
Comprising 10 essays from preeminent Canadian and American scholars, the report examines critical economic issues that underpin the Canada-U.S. relationship. Essays of note include:
"Canada's Challenges in the Face of U.S. Monetary Policy" by Jerry Jordan (Former President, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland):
As the United States, Europe, and Japan become more tolerant of inflation, their currencies will likely depreciate while the currencies of smaller, open economies like Canada will climb. Persistent appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar will mean increasing competitive pressures on both Canadian industries and firms that seek to export, and on Canadian companies that must compete with foreign imports.
"Such currency challenges often lead to worsening policy responses such as trade protectionism," Jordan said.
"The Effect of U.S. Financial Market Regulation on Canada" by Moin Yahya (University of Alberta):
The re-election of President Obama means the full implementation of what is popularly referred to as the Dodd-Frank Act, which imposes new regulations on the financial services sector in the U.S. Yahya argues that the impact of Dodd-Frank and its accompanying regulations on the Canadian financial system is highly uncertain because specific provisions concerning foreign banks have yet to be developed. Other rules may apply inadvertently to Canadian companies doing business in the United States, such as brokerage firms that trade American stocks for clients in the U.S. or Canada.
"Clearly, there will be adverse effects on the Canadian banking and financial services sector from the regulations imposed by U.S. legislators," Yahya said.
"U.S. Energy and Environment Policymaking in Obama's Second Term" by Chris Horner (Competitive Enterprise Institute):
The Obama administration will likely introduce a host of environmental and safety regulations aimed principally at the energy sector, and more specifically the oil and gas sector, that will adversely affect production.
"The risk for Canada if it copies American energy regulations is that it will inadvertently impede the development of its own opportunities," Horner said.
"Obamacare and Canadian Health Care" by Steven Globerman (Western Washington University):
Obama's re-election ensures the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). While specific implementation details remain to be worked out, Globerman argues that the ACA will likely reduce rates of technological change in the U.S. health care sector which, in turn, will reduce the availability of new medical technology to Canada. He also warns that the emergence of rationing and waiting times in the U.S. might also increase the costs of Canadian health care by constraining provincial governments from using spare capacity in the U.S. as a buffer against "excessive" waiting times in Canada.
"Rather than relying upon sending Canadian patients to the United States to deal with excessive wait times, provincial governments will presumably need to add domestic capacity or else increase waiting times for Canadians to receive timely medical treatment," Globerman said.
"This will oblige Canadian governments to spend more on health care."
"How Canada Could Take Advantage of Changes to U.S. Tax Policy" by David R. Henderson (Naval Postgraduate School and the Hoover Institution):
Henderson outlines the competitive disadvantage Canadian income earners face relative to their American counterparts with respect to income taxes. Canadians face higher income tax rates that kick in at lower levels of income compared to Americans; this presents an opportunity for Canada over the next decade or so: balance budgets then reduce personal income taxes.
"Income taxes are the largest source of revenues for governments and the single largest tax for the top 50 per cent of income earners. Continued deficits will prevent the U.S. from implementing sustainable tax relief over the next decade," Henderson said.
"This provides Canada with an opportunity to gain some level of comparability if not a competitive advantage vis-a-vis the U.S. with respect to income taxes."

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

SaaS companies can greatly expand revenue potential by pushing beyond their own borders. The challenge is how to do this without degrading service quality. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Adam Rogers, Managing Director at Anexia, discussed how IaaS providers with a global presence and both virtual and dedicated infrastructure can help companies expand their service footprint with low "go-to-market" costs.

North Korea threatens 'strong and merciless countermeasure' against Franco-Rogen film The Interview
North Korea is fiercely denouncing the upcoming Seth Rogen and James Franco movie, The Interview, in which the two actors play a pair of talk-show hosts who get sent on a secret mission to assassinate the country's dictator, Kim Jong-un. On Wednesday, the totalitarian regime's Foreign Ministry issued a sharply worded attack on the film — albeit one that was written in a somewhat broken English — making the accusation that the movie is a plot by the U.S. government.
"The U.S. has gone reckless in such provocative hysteria as bribing a rogue movie maker to dare hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK," said the statement, issued through the official state-run Korean Central News Agency. "This act of not fearing any punishment from Heaven is touching off the towering hatred and wrath of the service personnel and people of the DPRK."
The statement went on to call the movie itself an act of war: "Absolutely intolerable is the distribution of such film in the U.S. as it is the most undisguised terrorism and a war action to deprive the service personnel and people of the DPRK of their mental mainstay and bring down its social system."
It concluded with a grim ultimatum:
Those who defamed our supreme leadership and committed the hostile acts against the DPRK can never escape the stern punishment to be meted out according to a law wherever they might be in the world. If the U.S. administration connives at and patronizes the screening of the film, it will invite a strong and merciless countermeasure. [KCNA] Eric Kleefeld
The International Olympic Committee said Sunday that it will not completely ban Russia from competing at the Rio Olympics, Reuters reports. Instead, the IOC is putting the responsibility of deciding who can compete in the Games on the bodies that govern the individual sports.
The announcement comes after an independent report found evidence of widespread state-sponsored doping among Russian Olympic athletes. Competitors will need to meet a set of criteria to demonstrate they are clean, and anyone who has previously been caught doping will not be allowed to compete. Jessica Hullinger
German authorities say the gunman who opened fire at a Munich shopping center on Friday, killing 9 people and injuring 35 more, planned the attack for a year. On Sunday, Robert Heimberger, president of the Bavarian state criminal police office, said 18-year-old David Sonboly left a manifesto on his computer. "He appears to have planned this act since last summer," Heimberger said. "He completely occupied himself with this act of rampage."
In planning his attack, Sonboly, who authorities say was "obsessed" with mass shootings, visited the site of a previous school shooting and took pictures, The Associated Press reports. In 2015, Sonboly spent two months as an inpatient at a mental care facility, where he was treated for depression and a fear of contact with other people. He killed himself after the attack. Jessica Hullinger
On Sunday morning, Donald Trump, or whoever was running his Twitter feed, went on a rampage against Hillary Clinton's decision to pick Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) as her vice presidential nominee. Embedded amongst a flurry of exclamation points and all-caps accusations of "BAD JUDGMENT" was an error that's sure to needle grammar snobs: Where Trump should have used "their," he used "there" instead. And in the same breath — er, keystroke — instead of "waste," he used "waist."
Then again, what more do we expect from a presidential candidate who researchers say has the grammatical sophistication of an 11-year-old?
Update at 8:20 a.m.: The above tweet has been deleted and replaced with a corrected version. Jessica Hullinger
I know, I know. You miss Game of Thrones. And the recent news that season seven won't air until summer 2017 is probably only adding to your despair. But if you need a quick fix, this is it: HBO released a blooper reel from season six, and it is delightful. Let it be known: Dothraki is hard, but the word 'benevolent' is even harder. Watch below. Jessica Hullinger
Mary Commanday, the mother of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, who was killed in the 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, has asked that the Donald Trump presidential campaign stop referencing her son in attacks on Hillary Clinton. In a letter to The New York Times, Commanday wrote, "I know for certain that Chris would not have wanted his name or memory used in that connection. I hope that there will be an immediate and permanent stop to this opportunistic and cynical use by the campaign." Clinton was secretary of state at the time of the attacks, which featured prominently at the Republican National Convention last week in speeches criticizing Clinton's leadership skills. Jessica Hullinger
The chief financial officer of the Democratic National Committee, Brad Marshall, apologized on Saturday after emails leaked by WikiLeaks showed the DNC had planned to attack Bernie Sanders on his religion. The emails did not mention Sanders, who is Jewish, by name, but said, "Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist."
In a Facebook post, Marshall said, "I deeply regret that my insensitive, emotional emails would cause embarrassment to the DNC, the Chairwoman, and all of the staffers who worked hard to make the primary a fair and open process. The comments expressed do not reflect my beliefs nor do they reflect the beliefs of the DNC and its employees. I apologize to those I offended." Jessica Hullinger
In an article published Saturday, The New York Times reports that presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton picked Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate to attract more white men to her campaign:
Ultimately, Mrs. Clinton, who told PBS that she was "afflicted with the responsibility gene," avoided taking a chance with a less experienced vice-presidential candidate and declined to push the historic nature of her candidacy by adding another woman or a minority to the ticket.
Instead, the campaign, which had become concerned about its deficit with white men, focused on Mr. Kaine and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, and looked more closely at Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado. [The New York Times]
Among white men, Republican Donald Trump leads Clinton 56 to 25 percent, according to a national Quinnipiac survey from the end of June.
Kaine has been described as "boring" following his addition to the ticket, a trope those close to the candidate say is unfair. "I just hate it," Beau Cribbs, Kaine's former body man, told BuzzFeed News. "I think boring is a code for white and male, frankly." Bonnie Kristian

This Is The Most Heartwarming Thing On The Internet Today
No, it's not a cat in a rabbit suit or pugs in pom-pom hats sledding. It's a very beautiful, personal tale that starts out in an alarming, potentially tragic way. As Manhattan playwright Peter Mercurio tells in this O. Henry story written into life, it began with a frantic phone call from his boyfriend, Danny Stewart, who had found a newborn baby in the Eighth Avenue A/C/E subway station. "I found a baby!" Stewart yelled. "I called 911, but I don't think they believed me. No one's coming. I don't want to leave the baby alone."
Eventually, the police and the courts did intervene, but perhaps not in the ways you might expect. Frankly, we'd rather not say much more as the tale, and its improbable ending, are worth not spoiling. It's been shared before (in the pages of Parenting), but never as well. It's a good week-ending reminder of how far we've come in this country (and, specifically, this state) and, that even with the worst beginnings, some stories do have happy — albeit tear-jerking — endings. (New York Times)

Last year was warmest year on record
Relevant offers
@devlincolle: Southland and Queenstown had their warmest year in 2013 since records began, figures show.
Figures released yesterday by climate scientist Jim Salinger show a warm winter and more frequent northeasterly winds contributed to the records.
The mean temperature for the Southland region last year was 10.9 degrees Celsius - 1.03C above normal. Dr Salinger said it was the warmest year since records began in the region in 1911.
The mean temperature for Queenstown last year was 11.9C, 1.07C above normal.
This was the warmest since Queenstown records began in 1930.
Dr Salinger also recorded temperatures at Milford Sound, saying it had its second warmest year since records began in 1935.
Milford Sound's mean temperature last year was 11.4C, 1.06C above normal.
Last year as a whole was the country's second-warmest since records began in 1870, with a mean temperature of 13.01C, 0.84C above normal.
The figures are derived from 22 land stations and the offshore Islands.
The reason for the warmth in the south was more frequent northeasterly winds, he said.
Dr Salinger expected the above-average temperatures would continue this year for the whole country and predicted average temperatures of 0.2C to 0.6C above average.
The bad news was the rising temperatures followed a global trend which an intergovernmental panel on climate change report blames on "increasing greenhouse gases augmenting the greenhouse effect," Dr Salinger said.
Federated Farmers' Southland provincial president Russell MacPherson said the mild winter had been good for grass growth but the drier summer was not desirable.
"Late summer and early autumn were a bit dry but the mild winter was nice. Most farmers will agree if this was global warming, it is welcomed," he said.
45S Weather Services manager Andy Fraser said the records were not about heat waves but rather a warmer winter.
"There were less cold southerly outbreaks, cloudy skies and fewer frosts, which contributed," he said.
His data shows the highest temperature in Invercargill during 2013 was 29.3C in January and lowest was -2.3C, in September. Prior to last year, an average winter low would be -4.4C, he said.
