Recently with whats been going on we have had a pointed reminder that every day counts. When we begin our new normal we will be forever aware that we should make the most of our time. As we kick start society, rebuild businesses and find our way forward we need to make sure that we make every day count. When we’re working that’s going to mean giving it everything we’ve got. Which means that when we’re not working we need to make the most of relaxing. It also means we need to plan for the future, because financial forecasting has never been more challenging, or challenged. Sound financial thinking, a wonderful way to relax, a chance to share time with family and friends, holiday time that doesn’t involve long distance air travel and all that goes with it - they’re all pointing to a UK seaside holiday home as the way to make every day count.

When you can sensibly think about planning holiday time again think about the sort of UK seaside holiday where you can share time with, and enjoy the company of, your friends and family. Think about those card games and board games, the simple walks for pleasure, and the altogether calmer approach to your weekends and holidays. A holiday home is somehow going to mean more than ever.
