We are packing.
After a horrendous week of stress which overtook everything and where so much changed in such a short space of time, we are off to spend a short holiday with extended family in Center Parcs in the hope it will ease the strain.
Never has there been such an overwhelming need to get away from it all.
IJ is incredibly excited.
I am simply exhausted.
The break may help.
We had a good time there last year.
I will report back, with a much clearer head, I hope.
For now, this is it.
Have a wonderful & relaxing time and try to enjoy it with no worry xxxx

I love center parcs, have a good one.

I know the feeling, I wish you much relaxation this weekend. I think that now I am a mum of two I don't need that much to feel relaxed, just getting total silence and solitude for a couple of hours rejuvenates me! We moved house yesterday and I have escaped the unpacking for 5 mins,just me,the sofa and g reader! Right, better get back before they notice...

Go with the expectation of having a great time and it will be heavenly and little bump or blip that may rear it's head can be dealt with later and enjoy!

Thanks, Erica. It's our third (or fourth?) visit and we always enjoy it.

Thanks Scribblingmum, some silence and solitude certainly helped this afternoon when the grandparents took over for a little while. Hope your house move is going okay. Must have been pretty stressful for you all.

Thanks, Tattie. That makes a lot of sense. I'll do that.

It certainly looks like the place you need at the moment. Sending a hug & a 'shoo away stress'!

I hear all the time how fantastic these Center Parcs are. Would love to go one of these years when I'm back in the UK. Hope you're having a grand old time of it!

Have a great time Rosie. I've only been to Center Parcs once (with extended family as well) and we LOVED it. So much, I think we are going to go back this Autumn.

We love it at Centre Prcs. I'm sure that we've even stayed in the very same cabin that you're in, what a small world.
