We left a Stockton Heath morning that promised to be sunny and warm and headed into heavy and persistent rain. The further north we drove, the further south the temperature measurement on the instrument cluster sank.
Eventually we arrived at our mini Hogwarts "home for a fortnight".
I know a holiday should be a break from the routine. One should leave the shackles of work and home and relax. Sometimes this can be difficult, but not here. I couldn't check Facebook, Twitter, Google+, e-mail, Instagram; I was in a 3G dead zone.
I knew the holiday complex had Wifi so I resolved to "catch up" later.
After the children went to bed I disappeared off in search of Wifi and found it near reception. It was painfully slow. Twitter and Facebook were timing out. I gave up.
This should have been relaxing but it wasn't. I didn't have phone reception either. I was, literally, out of touch. I needed a plan.
