Half term holidays

Myself and the family (in laws included) are off to Italy for the half term. We, like most families we know have had to tighten our financial belts a bit over the last few years and holidays sometimes seem like an extravagance. 


However, having thought it through, we have decided that for our family, holidays are a priority. We have made compromises and cut corners elsewhere to make sure that we could have a holiday. Our eldest will be 13 in July and I can't help thinking that there are precious few years left before we get to the 'no thanks, I'll stay at home' stage. And then what??


We can't have that time back...time spent away from home together is definitely positive for us. No jobs to do, no phones to answer, no work = more time to talk and more time to listen. More time to play together, relax together and generally have fun together. It is amazing what that can do for the family dynamic. 


I am really looking forward to our holiday! Whatever you are doing this half term, we hope you find some time to relax with your family. Enjoy!
