That shift in mindset has indeed been amazing. I realise now that I've lately conditioned myself to think that I couldn't have a "proper" holiday unless I went away somewhere, preferably exotic. Giving myself the permission to play with things on my doorstep has been wonderful. Not only that, but now instead of dreading my return to work next week, I'm looking forward to it and all the opportunities it holds. Including, of course, spending more time with <a href="http://sistersnog.com" rel="nofollow">Sister Snog!!</a> Thanks, Annie. That shift in mindset has indeed been amazing.

I'm a Londoner born and bred but I love nothing better than 'being a tourist' in London and looking at my home town through tourists' eyes. As the saying goes 'A change is as good as a rest' and it sounds like yours is having the desired effect. Enjoy the rest of your staycation.
