Can anyone tell me the best time to visit the UK, (I live in France,) and the last time I went over to visit my sister - Feb. 2013, the world and his brother seemed to have colds and chest infections. I ended up in hospital for 8 days with an exacerbation of my COPD. I am up to date with 'flu' and pneumonia injections. I thought I might avoid winter and go in late spring or early summer.
Lolly.
Hi Lolly2,
I have found July, August, September and October are best, possibly because we are topped up with vit D from the warmer weather and sunshine. In June this year a relative came to stay with his cof/cold which I caught, he got better in a few days but I am still fighting it off. There doesn't seem to be anyone around with any sniffles at the mo, I would love to live in a warmer place even so.

Welcome Lolly2 and I can only reiterate (now there's a big word for a Monday!) what the others have said as I totally agree. Winter is a no-no because of all the bugs that go around. Take care and enjoy your stay when you do come back again. xxxx
Bienvenue Lolly. I suppose this time of year is more likely to be pleasant. people start to cough from autumn to spring!
But, I thought I had escaped bugs for the summer, and I caught one now! I am vulnerable to infection. Perhaps you too, I don't know. It's worth coming to see your sister! Take care.
Hi Lolly2 Personally I say avoid Feb. Last 2 years I ended up in hospital with pneumonia. However I would say any time between May and Sept. would be fine. Hope Northern France is the same as off to visit daughter and family who have recently moved there.
In the midst of chaos, I'm here to wish you all a very happy Christmas!
