Home again, home again . . .



I really didn't want to leave. If I hadn't been preaching yesterday, I'd have tried to negotiate another few days at Clashview. There's lovely caravan in the grounds that I wouldn't have minded moving into. As it was though, we had a good journey home at a stately pace as befits people travelling in a monster Mercedes that can actually do 0-60mph in 7.5 secs. Thanks, dear Bill, for lending it to us!

Looking back on the holiday, and how stressed Rob and I were when we arrived, it was just what we needed. It was fun to have the family for a few days and let them cook for us and keep us entertained, but when they departed and peace and quiet reigned, it was therapeutic to have no responsibilities. Hooray for holidays!

Agree! Agree! Holidays are vital! Unfortunately, many families will skip a holiday this year due to the financial mess we're all in. The stress will build up in the coming months. Holidays are worth every penny.... just ask Mrs Blethers, who seems to take a holiday every now and then in Dunoon!
