Some of you might know already that I've been away this weekend and I went all by myself. I decided earlier this year that I wanted a holiday and I knew the only way I was going to get one was to go away alone. That was something which I was absolutely petrified about, but I booked a weekend away with a company called Just You who sepcialise in holidays for single travellers. I booked the weeknd away just to see how I got on being away by myself and thought that if I enjoyed my time away then I would book a 'proper' holiday next year.
I just want to say that I had a great weekend. I am so proud of myself for being so brave and going there by myself. I initiated conversations with people which I really do not normally do, and even though there was an itinerary you did not have to get involved in all that was going on, you pretty much could do as you liked and if you chose not to do something, so what, no one asked questions. It was so relaxing and so nice to be in different surroundings.
I was slightly disapointed that I was the youngest one there, but I did not feel out of place and everyone was so nice and welcoming. There were a lot of people who were as nervous as I was and had signed up for the weekend for so many different reasons.
On the whole, it was a good weekend, with the exception of a couple of women (mutton dressed as lamb) who did nothing but complain but that's a whole post in itself which I'll save for another day.
