If you've been thinking about getting away, it's probably because you need it. Life can be hectic, and we all deserve a little time to relax and recharge 🔋.

We all need a well earned break...and maybe tequila 🍹

Jason and I spent ours in Cyprus 😎, also we took the opportunity to take my mum's ashes with us. It was emotional but something we needed to do. I lost my wonderful Mum 4 years ago. She inspired me to travel abroad and explore the UK too. We don't have long on this earth 🌎 and need to reconnect with the people we love ❤️.

I'm not saying you should book a holiday with us ( but we do have a beautiful cottage with lots of fresh air and beautiful countryside 😊). But just try and see the people you love 💕 and spend quality time with them.
