		<description><![CDATA[Here in the British Isles we refer to our vacations as our holidays. This goes back to the root &#8216;holy days&#8217;, those days within the ecclesiastical and liturgical calendar when even the lowliest of labourers would get their chance of a rest. I&#8217;ve just got back from my holiday and my spirit is certainly refreshed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the distant undemanding past, in those trouble-free days B.C. (Before Children), unburdened as we were even by cordless telephones, car alarms or e-mail, my wife and I were given a fluffy eiderdown comforter as an anniversary present.  I expect it cost a fortune as my mother, the donor, was typically generous with this kind of thing; it certainly seemed big enough, sitting there all boxed up on our porch one afternoon, like a smallish hippopotamus packed for transport.  I fancied the FedEx driver must have felt grateful to get half his van freed up for the trip home.]]></description>

It&#8217;s almost time for back to school! Whether you are relaxing together or working together, time spent with your children talking and listening, is essential when they are young so that as they grow up, they feel they can still come and talk to you about the everyday things (plus the really important decisions [...]]]></description>
