sand between your toes, ice creams melting faster than you could eat them, having time to play with the children and discuss new things with the family, getting up in a lazy way, eating new food.

Each of these could be something you remember from a good family holiday. A holiday that set you up to survive the rest of the year and enhanced all your family relationships.

The Mothers’ Union knows how important a break from routine is and so it tries once every two years to provide a few families in this Diocese with a short family holiday. They are called ‘Away from it all’ holidays and in 2005 the MU has booked Herne Bay Court so that a few families with young children can have a week’s break by the sea.

Some of you may remember a very good parish holiday at Herne Bay Court. It is a very good venue for families, with facilities for activities for all ages, good wholesome food and a comfortable bed.  Unfortunately it costs money to book it and the MU has as yet not raised enough for this year’s holiday to be a real success.

Our Branch of the MU is holding a Retiring Collection for AFIA holidays after the morning service on Mothering Sunday March 6^th and a Coffee Morning in All Saints on Saturday April 23^rd 10am to 12 noon. Tickets for this are £1 each and there will be a cake stall, produce stall and raffle. 

Please help the MU to provide these very special holidays and if you are planning a holiday this year I hope that it will be a very good one with lots of wonderful memories.

Mary Shaw (MU Branch Leader)
