We had a really lovely time. Family time. Just us 5. Together. No phonecalls, no spending time being sucked in to the time void (aka 'the internet'), just good old fashioned family time. We played board games, we swam, we walked, we talked, we ate, we rock climbed, we spa-ed. OK, I admit that last part should have read 'the children rock climbed whilst dad stood around in the freezing cold watching them and mum languished in the spa'. I don't know some people are a stickler for details! Oh, we went to Center Parcs by the way. The one in Longleat. It's close, only an hour's drive away, but you feel like you are a million miles away from home. The accommodation was fabulous.
The break does mean though that I didn't blog much, got waaaaayyyyy behind on my JYC for this year and now, along with laundry, have much to get done. I did take photos though and jotted down notes so hopefully I'll be back up to speed as soon as possible.
This is one of my favourites taken during the week. Walking back from the Pancake House after a meal and some entertainment (more on this in a later post), the children all had these fluorescent cups and were messing around with them. One photo with a longish exposure later and I got this:

Cool photo! Sounds like a lovely pre-Christmas break.
I love Center Parcs! Haven't been for a while but isn't it good to have some real family time together.
And a bit of indulgence in the spa of course!
Love the photo, very clever!
