We all do! Just getting away from the bad weather is reason enough. However, have you thought of the other benefit's a holiday can bring. We are all in a rut, to some degree. Housewives are basically stuck in the house, doing the same chores over and over again. Workers do the same job day in and day out and even if you enjoy what you do, a holiday break is such a well deserved tonic.

A holiday can be many things to different people, beach holidays, walking, sailing, camping, climbing, cycling, skiing, caravan in Dorset the list is endless but whatever is "your thing" they all have one thing in common. CHANGE!

Yeh, one of the most important things a holiday can bring is a change of scenery. You leave all (or most) of your worries behind you and even if its only for a few days or a week the personal change is noticeable. Getting away from your normal environment and enjoying yourself is not important, its essential.

All the jobs that need doing at home can wait! Once you close the door behind you and head for the airport, the stress drops. Actually, the dam airport is stressful but you get my point! Everything at home or work can dam well wait until you get back!

If you decided to have a camping holiday on a grassy roundabout in Manchester and it rained all week you still get something out of it. Change. We are more inclined to laugh about things like rain (or Manchester) if we are on holiday and when we return home everything looks slightly different, I believe better.

So what are you waiting for, get the luggage down from the loft, ask the neighbor to feed the cat and book a holiday, you deserve it!
