Times are hard everywhere. I and Mandy, I know are working rediculously hard. Stupid hours, stupid stress, living a compromise.
I just cant see that two weeks a year just as a luxury anymore. Its essential. There are many things I would rather go without.
Our holiday is quality time with our 3 kids, recharge time for I and Mandy as a couple and maybe just a glimpse of what life might be like together when the kids have flown the nest. Important bonding time.
Nobody knows whats to come, how tough it may yet get. It may get worse yet for sure but I know I will face it better with rest, a tan and some fun in the tank.
If I can just get the sun into my bones I might withstand another English winter
