Here we are on the 20th December, the shortest day is tomorrow and we'll be welcoming back some familiar faces and new faces to our cottages this weekend and next, for their Christmas and New Year break in Nidderdale, Yorkshire.
This time of year is when I prepare myself mentally and physically for the year ahead. Historically it's just after Christmas when people plan and book their summer break or perhaps book a last minute break to recover from the busy Christmas holidays. In previous years, running a self catering business was just 'seasonal', now I am pleased to say it's all year round, and why not?!
Tim and I stayed in our cottages during December and enjoyed very much being in their company! We lived liked a local and ate and drank in the local pubs, did our favourite walks and took some time out for ourselves, perfect.
Getting away, just for a few nights can really make all the difference.
What will 2013 bring? Hopefully another busy and blessed year. Filled with happy faces, tail wagging dogs and hopefully a little more sunshine!
So wherever or whoever you are spending this Christmas with, be happy, merry and enjoy!
Best wishes to you and yours for a great Christmas and happy and healthy 2013.
Sarah, Tim and Riley x
