As the years strike eleven
Since your move to heaven
I feel a great miss
For the cheeks I long to kiss
For the hands I wish to hold
For the stories never told
For the holidays we’d have had
For the moments to be glad
For the schooldays missing
For the days of wishing
That you were home with us
Dad, Isaac, and me
Our boy, with his family
Forever loved and missed
Our darling “nearly 2”
How every day you’re remembered
Our one and only you

Reuben 10/9/10 – 21/8/12

Loved and missed always,

Mummy, Daddy & Isaac

On our way to TC Conference 22. It has been 3 very long and difficult years since we were altogether.
Really excited to come together again at long last.

October is a wonderful time to get away, whether for a restorative break on your own or as a couple or for a fun, sociable holiday with family or friends...

And the winner is……

We recently launched a competition in memory of a very special friend and supporter of Reuben’s Retreat, Gill Peach ♥️ Gill & partner Ian started the tradition of taking Reuben on their travels and it is now one of our favourite photo albums to browse!

Today would have been Gill’s birthday so we thought it would be fitting to get Ian to pick his favourite photo from your recent entries to announce the winner today 💫

Ian picked this photo as it’s one of their favourite cities and shows a family enjoying fun together on their travels which Gill would have loved …..

Well done to Jan & family and thank you to everyone who sent photos in to us. Keep them coming over the summer holidays! We love to hear all about and see your amazing adventures 🌍

Sending love & light to all who knew Gill today as we remember her with great fondness 🌟

Merry Christmas to all my customers. Thank you for your continued support in the most challenging year.

I love this poem by the very talented Tony Walsh. The original poem was commissioned especially for Travel Counsellors.Tony opened our amazing conference in 2019. He recited the poem and made us all so proud, uplifted and positive for the year ahead. Tony adapted the poem to give us encouragement and remind us who we are, how we care and how travel will return

Great news today.

We welcome the Australia 🇦🇺 and New Zealand 🇳🇿 travel bubble 👏.

And we hope that more of these bubbles will be established across the region when it is safe to do so as part of the overall efforts to restart international air travel.

The events of the past year have taught us many things, including the fact that being able to spend quality time with family and friends has never felt so important.

We've missed exploring the world with the people that mean the most to us and as we look forward, I'll keep your wellbeing at the heart of everything I do.

I hope you enjoy reliving your travel memories with us as you watch our film, and when you're ready to travel again, I'll be here for you, both for trips around the UK, and to distant shores.

Wishing all my lovely customers a Happy Easter.

You may have seen in the news today talk of a new law banning holidays until July. Since I am a Travel Counsellor and I believe holidays are coming back before then, I wanted to provide a bit of context for the latest holiday news.

*What's actually happening with holidays this year?*

On April 12, the Department for Transport will still be announcing the plan for restarting overseas holidays, as we've known since Feb 22. It is likely they will announce the resumption of overseas holidays to a limited number of destinations on or around May 17.

*OK, so why does the news say "holidays banned until July on pain of a five grand fine"?*

On Feb 22, Boris Johnson announced that holidays would be banned until May 17 ("at the earliest").

Currently, that ban is achieved through the "stay at home" rule - the one that says you can't leave your house except for specific reasons, and holidays aren't one of them.

That stay at home rule comes to an end next Monday (29 March). Thus, the government needs a new rule to stop people going on holiday between Mon 29 March and Mon 17 May. Without a new rule, we could all have hopped on a plane on Monday. That's all it is - a little gap in the legislation that they needed to fill with a new rule, doing what they always said they were going to do.

*Why does the new law last until July then?*

Just in case. The thing most likely to cause problems or delays is a new variant that’s resistant to the current vaccines. But right now, there doesn’t seem to be one. As soon as overseas holidays start again, which we expect to be on or around May 17, we expect they’ll either repeal or supersede the law that's coming in from Monday.


*Why do government ministers keep going on TV saying not to book holidays?*

Quite reasonably, government ministers appear to have all been given the same brief on summer holidays - “be very cautious, don't leak anything and don't pre-empt the April 12 report". So they all say the same thing "wait for the report on April 12".

*Why did Boris Johnson say "Europe's third Covid wave will wash up on our shore"?*

Some countries in Europe are, very sadly, seeing a third wave, new lockdowns and extended restrictions. When holidays resume, at least at first we'll very likely only be able to go to places that have the virus under control. Happily, more countries are expected to do so as time goes on and vaccines roll out, so that list should grow over time.

*What does the government say?*

We understand the government still advises holidaymakers to wait until their report on April 12 before changing any travel plans. Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, said to Sky News this morning “the questions of whether people will be able to travel abroad this summer are going to be addressed by the Global Travel Taskforce, which is reporting around 12 April…the earliest date by which we will allow for international travel…is 17 May. That has not changed.”

I would advise anyone not to panic or cancel any holidays that you have planned.
We need to wait for the Goverment updates on the 12th of April and for anyone who wishes to start looking forward to planning a holiday, please remember it is not illegal to book a holiday.
The best advice I can give is to book with a trusted travel advisor who can give you the latest expert advice and assist you in booking a holiday with full financial protection. I will assist you if your plans have to be changed in anyway.
Don't give up hope it won't be long and you will feel the sun on your face and the sand between your toes again.

We’ve made it to February! To mark this month of love, we’re going to be running a ‘GP loves’ series featuring all the lovely hotels we work with and just some of the reasons why we love them! This is the beautiful Château Saint-Martin & Spa which we’re dreaming of returning to for a much-needed dose of serenity!
