It’s January – and it’s snowing.
Snow is lovely, for a few hours. And then it gets sludgy and grey and travel gets messed up and someone kicks down your snowman or hits you in the face with a snowball and it suddenly becomes very un-fun indeed.
So, if you fancy getting away from the grey and lazing on a sun drenched beach for a week or so…read on.
Both British Airways Holiday and Secret Escapes currently have some fantastic deals on last minute breaks. Leave behind the drudgery of work, the post-Christmas blues and the horrible weather and relax in 30° sunshine with a cocktail in one hand and a great book in the other. As soon as pay day hits, I may well fly off myself!
So…what are some of the best options?
Secret Escapes

They offer hugely discounted rates on hotels and holidays in the UK and all around the world; I love their deals and have snapped up a few that are genuinely amazing value.
