When it comes to holidays, who wants to have to stick to a routine? Who wants to be told what time to have breakfast? What time to go out? What time to be entertained? Who wants to have a restricted diet? Not me! I’m a fan of self catering holidays where I can choose my own agenda, where I can lay in bed til midday if I choose, then get a breakfast of my own choosing, whether that be chocolate or chips or cereal. I then want to have the freedom to go out and find my own entertainment or simply sit in my room reading until I feel like a stroll or until I feel like eating anything I want.

This, for me, is a holiday. My everyday life is dependent on what time I have to get up to do the school run, being at work on time, taking breaks when I’m told to, leaving work only when the clock strikes 5pm, rounding up the children and providing a nutrious meal, followed by the bath and bed routine. It’s all routine and a holiday for me is a break from all that!

That’s why my family and I opt for self catering holidays. We love the freedom they bring us and the sense of being in control of our own day. We love to be able to come and go as we please. We love to eat what we want, when we want, we love choosing our own, off the beaten track, excursions. This is the way we will always holiday.
