What's exciting us this month

Its a well-known wn rule that every great family holiday starts stressfully...
Whether its Dads sheer inability to leave the house in good time for the ight or Mum fretting because the children are getting restless in the back of the car, something always happens to ratchet up the tension.

Though not quite as hedonistic as in those n de sicle days, its de nitely not one for the kids. Bon voyage and see you next month.
