1803 - Home or away?

My daughter's been on holiday in Wales
This week, and sadly there's not been much sun
My little girl, now eight, can't tell us tales
Of many trips or adventures, foreign
Or domestic, because me and her mum
Split up. She went to Italy when a baby
And obviously no memories remain
East Anglia when she was four, there'll be
Some recollection, like there'll be when we
Went to Dorset in '08. British gales
Rainstorms and summer clouds spoil every one
Of those British holidays. Only three
Were sunny that I can recall. It fails
Every time. I'm thinking of Switzerland...
