It’s been a while since I was able to include a review of my own overseas holiday in a newsletter and it feels good to be doing so again.

In fact, I am delighted to report a host of recent positive stories; from the thrill of having so many of you back travelling, being flattered to receive thoughtful gifts of appreciation, Holidaysplease being recognised by the travel industry with a fantastic award, feeling the love on National Travel Agent Day, my little advert making the front page of my local paper and lovely days out this week for a milestone birthday. 

My 50th birthday celebrations will continue for a little longer with a much anticipated autumn expedition to St Lucia and a side trip to the beautiful island of Bequia, in St Vincent and the Grenadines, inspired by my recent training and website feature. 

Before then, I will be returning for a ninth time to gorgeous Croatia and co-hosting my next online client event, featuring my first exclusive escorted group tour and a very special guest.

I continue to receive some wonderful testimonials and client holiday blogs, and feel really touched and appreciative that my clients take the time to write and send these.

Thank you as always for your amazing support, which plays a big part in winning awards, and for all the kind comments on my social posts, as well as continuing to share my details with your families, friends and associates.

Enjoy the rest of the summer.
