Half-Term Retreat Recommendations

Lucy calls in with a dilemma about finding activities during half-term while her daughters are away.

The hosts suggest several options including Charlotte Church's retreat in Wales called The Dreaming, Jason Vale's juice retreats, and Another Place in the Lake District. They acknowledge the challenge of finding oneself after being so consumed with parenting responsibilities.
