Happy New Year everyone.

As you all know we like to offer a charitable visit to our Villa.

This is available for respite care or for kids or adults who are physically or mentally handicapped, usually in the West Cumbria area.

This is not a fully free holiday as anyone visiting will need to pay there own flights etc BUT we will offer fully free accommodation in our Villa. This is subject to dates availability but will cost nothing and can hold a family of up to 8.

If it’s in the colder months I’ll cover pool heat as well.

If you know of anyone who would like to benefit from this offer please feel free to share with them and ask them to message me directly.

Thank you 🙏

✈️🇺🇸 U.S. Government Shutdown Triggers Major Flight Reductions

Starting Friday, the U.S. will begin cutting air travel capacity by up to 10% at 40 high-volume airports nationwide due to the ongoing government shutdown. This could mean 3,500–4,000 fewer flights per day, with reductions ramping up gradually over the weekend.

🛫 Domestic flights will be hit hardest, especially at key Florida hubs:
• Tampa International (TPA)
• Orlando International (MCO)
• Miami International (MIA)
• Fort Lauderdale (FLL)

📍 If you're connecting via the U.S., especially on domestic legs, please monitor your bookings closely.

✅ The vast majority of UK–U.S. flights are expected to operate as scheduled. Airlines including American, Delta and United are updating schedules and will notify affected passengers directly.

Safety remains the top priority, but staffing shortages and controller fatigue are placing strain on the system. Officials warn that further restrictions may follow if the shutdown continues.

📣 Travellers are urged to stay informed and check with their airline before departure.

IHOP Coming to Haines City on U.S. 27

HAINES CITY, Fla. — Haines City residents and visitors will soon have a new place to enjoy culinary favorites, as IHOP has announced plans to open a restaurant at 37002 U.S. Highway 27, between Miracle Toyota and HCA Florida Hospital.

The addition of IHOP marks another milestone in Haines City’s continued commercial growth and the City Commission’s vision to attract quality dining, retail, and entertainment options that enhance residents’ quality of life.

“This was one of the ‘must-have’ restaurants once I became City Manager,” said City Manager James Elensky. “After speaking with many citizens, IHOP, along with restaurants like Chili’s and Miller’s Ale House, consistently came up as top requests. Me and the executive team are working on many more, so stand by—there’s more exciting news to come.”

Elensky added that collaboration and leadership have been key to the city’s success in attracting new businesses.
“When I was appointed City Manager by the Commission, I knew that in order to be successful, I had to put my executive team together, and I did just that,” Elensky said. “I would put my team up against any in Central Florida.”

The new IHOP will join a growing list of nationally recognized brands investing in Haines City, further establishing the area as a prime destination for families, visitors, and businesses alike.
