I don’t think I appreciated how great holidays were until I didn’t have a proper, full on week away for a number of years. No half measures, no sneaky checking-into-work, just a week of chilling out, doing our own thing. That’s what we did last week and it was awesome! We went down to Cadgwith Cove in Cornwall, which is a lovely fishing village on the Lizard. (I’ll go into more detail about our fab Cornish holiday in future blog posts).

It was our first proper holiday in years and as far as we know, it was Poppy’s first holiday. I think it’s fair to say we all had a fabulous time! The weather wasn’t great, but we walked, we relaxed and spent time together. We saw some amazing views and ate some great food – it was just what we all needed.

I’m already looking forward to next years holiday & am going to make sure I take more time off throughout the year. We didn’t quite have a digital detox, but both my OH and I reduced the amount of time we spent online, hence the lack of posts last week (plus, I ran out of time to schedule them in advance!) I’ve decided that holidays aren’t a luxury – they are essential, no matter where you go or what you do. They are vital at helping you take a break from life and are therefore a necessity in my book!
