February - What is love?
February is the month when love is highlighted, some of us look forward to valentines days with bated breath, will this be the year it happens, love finds me? Whilst some of us hide as far away from it as possible, ‘its all just a commercial rip off” they mutter under their breath. So what is this love that Valentines celebrates? And is it just for smug loved up couples?
Love is an emotion we all feel but can’t always control and it can hit us at unexpected moments. Love can be for that one person in your life who completes you, but there is also your powerful love for your children, love of your pets, things that you do, places that you visit time and time again. “This is my happy place, I love being here”, is often said by people when they have found a place they can be at peace and themselves in. We are so humbled when we hear our guests saying this, as we love our own piece of heaven on the Broads National park, but when we have guests who get that same feeling, we know we have managed to create a haven where you can take time out and just be you, writing your own story. It’s truly a privilege to achieve this.
We also know there are other beautiful moments we love that we would like to share with our guests, and one of these is the river at twilight in the summer. It is so magical as the sun sprinkles the river with little pits of gold, yellow and red as it slowly drifts to sleep. The river is often still and quiet, all the motorboats have stopped for the day, and by paddling gently and slowly you can see nature from a completely new angle. So this summer we are going to offer twilight tours on a Wednesday and Thursday, which will add extra magic to your story creation with us this summer.
We still have spaces left for this July and August, so don’t forget to book your space and add your own twilight tour, all bookable online at www.hippersons.co.uk/stay and www.hippersons.co.uk/explore.
To really take the pressure off your holiday planning, you can always add a hamper from Beccles Station cafe, or have breakfast delivered to your door every morning, getting you ready for the adventures of the day. All of this must be booked through the cafe by speaking to Pauline through https://www.facebook.com/becclesstation/.
What ever and whomever your loves are, don’t forget, love is all year round, not just the 14th February, and spending time with your loves is one of the best things for your wellbeing. So go on, treat yourself, get loved up this year.
