Sometimes it’s nice and essential to get out of town.
Breathe in fresh country air.
Meet with friends from another country. Stay in a lovely cottage. Sit on a cushioned window bench. Cook some good food. Go and see a sleepy little village. Watch a sunset together.

I have known Martina for over 20 years. We’ve celebrated Christmasses & New Year’s together. One of my nearest and dearest and my first bride. The first one to trust me with her special day. The sort of friendship where sometimes we speak several times a week and other times not for weeks or months and it’s ok. I think she’s beautiful and I swear her IQ is 140. She’d brush it off but I’m seriously in awe of her intelligence and love to philosophise with her.
