A real break
I started my holiday last week with really good intentions. I deleted my work email account from my phone – no chance of picking up work messages, I thought! But people send texts, Facebook messages, home emails (though I try to keep the two accounts separate). So it may not have been a great success. Except….
…except that I found myself on holiday without a mobile signal. Mrs R didn't have one either (different network). We were not exactly in the middle of nowhere (here, if you're interested): in fact, only a mile or two from a city centre. But no signal. No emails. No texts. No Facebook. No WiFi. No Viber. No nuttin'.
What a blissful holiday! Not planned, but providentally just what was needed. And next time, I'm going to find ways to actually recreate the same conditions. Can I encourage you to do the same…? And just to make you feel jealous (in a Romans 9-11 sense, jealously that leads to you also taking a holiday), here's a holiday snap to share – me cycling around Cambs and Northants villages. This is Fotheringhay, birthplace of Richard III and deathplace of Mary, Queen of Scots.
