Julie Jay: I’d choose Bundoran over Benidorm, even on days when rain is biblical

"The 1980s and 1990s were officially back as we tinkered with buckets and spades, went to the amusements, and even played the cardgame Snap, which kept family members entertained for all of three minutes"
We are in Bundoran with extended family for the week. As we landed in Donegal, we listened to the radio, which informed us that there had been record temperatures in Spain. At least, I think that’s what they were saying; it was so hard to hear over the torrential downpour that made driving conditions fairly dicey.
One positive that came from lockdown (and, God knows, there were very few) is that we all fell in love with staycationing, and I can’t see myself heading abroad with the children again anytime soon.
