1. Don’t do work! You’re job on holiday is to relax enough to be creative and productive until next summer when you can do it again. Enjoy the opportunity to clear your mind and reset your perspective and priorities.
\n2. Don’t get sunburned. It hurts when you get home.
\n3. Hire a canoe – don’t take one with you. It makes your car less fun to drive, makes it difficult to park under cover and is noisy when on the move. Plus if there isn’t someone hiring out a canoe on that beach it’s probably because the beach is not suited to canoes.
\n4. You would have thought the beach from which Macaroni transmitted the first transatlantic radio message would have a mobile ‘phone signal, but it doesn’t \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Back from holiday<\/h4>\n
1. Plan what you have to do. Check WiP reports, review deadlines and think before you act – there’s no point in turning all that relaxation into instant stress.
\n2. On the way home, buy milk, bread and a few basic ingredients to make a couple of meals.
\n3. Remember to collect your dog from the kennels.
\n4. Go to bed early and have a day off to recover from the 400-mile return trip
\n5. Brag about your holiday only to those people who ask what it was like.
\n6. Start planning your next holiday.<\/p>\n
For various reasons, we haven’t had many ‘proper’ holidays for a while so I’m extra happy that our trip to Cornwall was so enjoyable. The Lizard is much less busy than the North Coast. It was sort of like going home to Ireland but with fewer sheep and more sunshine, and we’re going to do it again.<\/p>\n
I hope everyone we work with has an equally enjoyable holiday and I look forward to a brilliantly creative and productive year ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
