At this stage in the Christmas break, it’s a good idea to get everyone out of the house. Sure, it’s great to spend a few days in flannel pyjamas with a big tin of chocolates to hand, but now you’ve started to leave a human-sized dent in the sofa and you’re down to the coffee creams.
And if your house is anything like mine, tensions may be simmering, eyes may be rolling and feet may be itchy. So the best thing to do is to wrap everyone up and get outside for a big dose of fresh air and new scenery.
