This was just a great opportunity to get away from work, home, routine, and all that stuff and have a lovely time together.  It’s very straightforward.  For that reason alone it was simply superb.

The first time that I’ve taken more than two consecutive days’ leave since October 2010 and it’s a game of two halves.

It seems to rekindle an existing love.
