This summer I decided to spend a week on the Isles of Scilly which was the best choice of destination, sun, sea and white sand. Remote enough to make it feel like an escape to a tropical island with a different pace of life and sometimes deserted, apart from the rare appearance of a seal or glossy ibis.
Apart from the obvious benefits to our mental health, holidays are a detox for the soul, an opportunity to take stock and consider what next? Having a period of reflection has enabled me to return energised and determined to make the last working year the most fruitful in every way.
