It may not be as adventurous as back-packing around the States as two of my friends have done this year, or jetting off to the family villa in South France like another, but a stay-cation is arguably just as relaxing and enjoyable as a va-cation!
First things first you don't have to face the dreaded flight which is bound to include at least one of the following: irritable passengers, an array of football chants from the stag group off to Estonia, super-smiley but unhelpful air attendants, cramped airplane seats and a screaming baby for in-flight entertainment! There's also the inevitable cold you catch from the return journey to Blightey faced with a torrent of rain to bring you back down to earth.
One thing I'm looking forward to is finally shutting up moaning about English weather and actually starting to enjoy it. I don't think any of us anticipated such an amazing spell of sunshine and warmth. Whilst it makes commuting in London that bit more unbearable, everyones mood is certainly elevated.
Fashion-wise our magazines are covered page-to-page with 'Best Summer Buys' and 'Holiday Items You Can't Live Without' and luckily even guidance on how to fit it all into your 20kg weight allowance. Despite not holidaying in the exceptionally popular Ibiza, Cyprus or Egypt, I have definitely been making the most of this press. I have finally succumbed to the trend for a maxi-dress so I will look the part along with my straw trilby.
Having been looking forward to two-weeks off from my work-experience-packed schedule this summer, calling it a stay-cation is making it feel far more special.
