[![Sunrise on the quay](https://i1.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2013/09/sunrise-on-the-quay-thumb-autox602-3249.jpg?resize=450%2C602)](https://i2.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2013/09/sunrise-on-the-quay.jpg?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)In the 20 months since I last took a holiday, I’ve started a freelance consultancy career, bought a house, had a beautiful baby girl, gone part-time to care for my daughter one working day per week, and become a pretend academic.

Y’know what? I decided I dererved a holiday.

And so, having had plans for the work-related things I’d do when [I was in France](http://www.onemanandhisblog.com/archives/2013/08/en%5Fvacances.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), I abandoned them all for having fun with my family. *Blissful*.

Now, I’m back at my desk, booting up for what looks like a frantic couple of months until early November. (Need someone with my skills from November onwards? [Drop me a line…)](mailto:adam@onemanandhisblog.com) iTunes is on, set to the 80s and cranked up loud, and I’m working again. Life is good.

But I really shouldn’t leave it 20 months between holidays, should I?
