Give yourself a break before the onslaught of the season is on you, take yourself away to Paris for the day or the weekend, there are good deals about at the moment therefore go forth and seek your Parisian moment. Or up to Scotland my second favourite place outside of London, it is a country I know, I know, and Scotland is not all Edinburgh or Gleneagles, my favourite place in the UK. But this is the place to spend two magical nights, if ever you need somewhere that will cuddle you both spiritually and mentally and hold your memories dear. I love Gleneagles, it is a place like no other; play some golf, go for dinner at the Michelin star restaurant, if you are with a partner or friends, have drinks at the uber sexy American Bar. DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT THE SCONES! Breakfast, have breakfast here always… go shopping and take long walks without even leaving the estate. So for your weekend away, head across the channel or take the train up and away to the North.
Or York, this is a new discovery for me, for there is much to do in York. A beautiful walkable city with Michelin Star restaurants and some of the best coffee shops. Stay at the Grand, climb up to the roof of the Minster, take a ghost walking tour to learn about Mad Alice, visit the church where Ann Lister got married… and so much more and so, so much more.
