Come along with us on our family holiday to Turkey and facing my fears

This week I’m bringing you all along with me to Turkey, along with 22 members of my family!
Every other year, my uncle brings us all together and gives us that all-important family time. I don’t often get to see the extended members of my family, and since my immediate family is quite a small bunch it fills my heart with so much joy to have this time and ensure the children do too.
We stayed with Club Med, which I cannot recommend enough. The holiday was absolutely impeccable, from the beautiful hotel filled with amenities to the many activities and the brilliant staff. Check them out if you’re planning a trip!
This trip was also one of the first real examples of how my seeing Kate for therapy sessions is making a difference. The change in my anxiety and fear whilst sailing was astounding. I was really quite traumatised by sailing as a child, however, since seeing Kate and working on putting the past behind me I was cool, calm and collected and couldn’t quite believe it! It made me quite emotional to feel the difference in my way of thinking and be able to get out there with no fear to enjoy it.
Not only did I face that fear, but I also seemed to go one step further and have a go at the trapeze! I think I’ve become quite the adrenaline junkie!
Do watch the vlog now to join us for a truly wonderful holiday filled with love, fun, family and memories to last a lifetime.

What a wonderful family holiday! Your outfits were all gorgeous. I had a mini dress which I remember wearing during my teacher training and it was made of a very similar pattern to your ‘colourful dress’. Gosh, that was back in the early 70’s! Definitely a Twiggy dress. I loved hearing the cicadas each evening as you shared each dress chosen for the night’s colour theme. It was very heartwarming to see that you had conquered your long held fears of sailing. Looking forward to seeing something of Scotland. Fingers crossed 🤞. Best wishes to you and your family xx

Only just caught up with this, great comparing holidays as we had a family holiday also in Turkey, but in a villa & it was so interesting to see what an all-inclusive resort was like. Both pretty good I think but sooo hot. Loved all your outfits & where are your & Coco’s gold sandals from please, I missed the name. xxx
