Myself and my family have just been away for a long weekend - having picked the sunniest and hottest october weekend on record (temp in the late 20's!). While we were away it struck me that although this was a great holiday, and felt very relaxing, it wasn't a "much needed" one, like so many people feel when they go away.
Now this isn't because we are away every few weeks - in fact this was our first break since January! - so it got me thinking about why we don't really feel we desperately need a holiday and why we aren't a very holiday-oriented family at all.
