The challenge for families like ours is that to see each other requires the investment in a long holiday - like 5 of us did in October 2015 and 2 of us will do in August 2016. I think these times are a particular treasure - at a whole different level. However this mini brak has been a genuine gift. I feel blessed and refreshed.
There was research a few years ago that was circulated quite widely at the time that short breaks built more memories for people and therefore provided a better psychological effect. Interesting isn't it that many happy memories are centred around holiday times?
As my Mother's Day gift Tony gifted us a night away in Martinborough. It takes around an hour to get from our place to Martinborough but the reality of putting dog in kennels and packing up puts a different light on the trip. It has been wonderful and feels extravagant. Luxury - and not in the Monty Python way. The villa is very close to the centre of town - so literally 100m to large square in centre of the village. Having got here by car it has been parked for 24 hours as we have wandered it just sat.
