Almost time to go home!

Well its now Friday night and we leave on Sunday back to cloudy England!
So far, the holiday has definitely been a success in terms of relaxing, which was the main aim.
The kids have continued to be pretty angelic, if you give them a bit of slack for being kids, definitely no complaining.
There isn't really an awful lot to do here, and that isn't a complaint! There is more than enough close by to get by with a mix of Spanish and English shops, with a large supermarket no more than 20 mins drive away. The pace of life is slow and relaxed. Really love the villa, the kids have only mentioned going to the beach once, as with the pool they are more than content and their swimming has improved dramatically, we're already considering when we can come back! Need to get cheaper flights.

Apologising!

I do it quite frequently (sorry but mrs is walking around with nothing on but her kaks!, not for my benefit but because it is hot!) if I say something wrong, or even if I don't but what I have said has upset or hurt some one because of what I have said. That's not meant in an arrogant or self righteousness way, but in a sympathetic and understanding way as I don't like or intend to upset people and feel it is the decent thing to apologise
However, it isn't the easiest thing to do, but I feel it is a good and almost cleansing thing to apologise. But some people don't, and that includes people close to me. They don't seem to get my reasoning and that my apology is my admission of being in the wrong, WRONG!
My stubborn streak would make me almost demand an apology if I feel I was owed one, which in turn would prevent me from making any form of apology to them - this would eat away at me. In the last few months I have learnt to accept that my way isn't the only or the right way to deal with these situations and that while I feel it is important for me to apologise, but that it is more important to accept that other peoples apologies may not be verbal but silent, to accept that, not demand it and move on.
