As we celebrate the King's Coronation this weekend, our thoughts turn to the wild outdoors and the natural environment; a well-known passion of King Charles. The big picnic this Sunday reminds us of the delights of spending quality time with friends and family, sharing food together and being part of a larger community.
It feels like we've blinked and suddenly we are already in May, with two bank holiday weekends nearly finished. And although the shorter working weeks are often welcomed with open arms, trying to fit in busy social plans alongside completing work in less time can leave us feeling a little burnt out and overwhelmed.
How lovely would it be to take a wander through a field of beautiful bluebells, with the warm sun shining down between the leafy trees and birdsong drifting through the air. A little further ahead, your children laugh together while finding fallen trees to climb and explore before squealing with delight as they watch squirrels balancing through the branches above.
For many of us, the late May bank holiday and half term will be the next chance we get to switch off and disconnect from the daily humdrums of life. On a Feather Down farm stay, you can experience truly escaping to nature and spending quality time together with those you love creating memories.
There's always a farm within a couple of hour's drive of most major cities where you can get back to what's really important. Explore National Parks, coastal farms, farms nestled in rolling hills, or farms next to huge lakes, there's a farm to suit everyone.
