Going for weekend away to Helen and Nicks with Lara.Not relaxing really but made me apreciate my own family set up at home and how supportive Craig is and How we try so hard to get work/ life balance right. All that time spent talking about kids and how we would bring them up and how to discipline them was worth it.
