Ideal time for me would be in the summer, June-July-August.
Not sure I can make it otherwise, although I'll definitely try... :o)

The closer to Heathrow or London, the more expensive it will be. I guess...
The problem with going elsewhere is that, while it's cheap to stay there,
it's probably more expensive to get there... :o)
England isn't a cheap place anyway, but I suppose it's the natural choice,
since it's where Vanders lives...

I think most low-fare airlines fly to Stanstead instead of Heathrow. I've
never flown to Stanstead myself, so I don't know if there are any hotels
nearby or anything, or even if it's within reasonable distance from London,
but that may be an alternative worth investigating...?
