Sunshine, spritzes and the joy of doing nothing

Me and The Boss have just got back from a sun-kissed week away together in Tenerife. Here's a few things we learned while we were out there.

- 

1. Warm, sweet sea air is medicine; especially when you live on a rain-lashed, mean-spirited little island in the middle of nowhere that's in darkness for six months of the year.

2. You don't appreciate just how much you enjoy food that you don't have to buy, transport home and then cook yourself just about every day of your life until someone else (the wonderful staff at your hotel) does it for you.

3. Time. Suddenly there's loads of it, unlike at home when someone's someone's always tugging at your sleeve for something or other. No TV and very little internet and guess what? You start talking to each other.
