Yes we do. We just inform all our contracts customers of the dates the shop will be closed (listen to all their petty grief about not being able to have holidays) and away we go.

After all they all get to go on holiday don't they!!

They're always glad when we come back, they then realise what good service and flowers they recieve. So it can actually work in your favour.
I like your attitude!!
Refreshing to hear that although you are busy and running a business you still find time to pack your bags and catch some sun. We all need a break!!
THanks again

I agree with you Obowl, everyone needs a holiday even if it be in short bursts. We have just bought a caravan so we can go for "one nighters" over the weekends. At least its a change of scenery.

Holidays...yeah right....turn up the central heating, open a bottle of wine and load up Google Earth. You can then go wherever you want and save a fortune

Devon sure is a lovely place, no wonder your boss doesn't want to go away ~ he lives in a beautiful county already!

Tell your boss not to forget that, although it is admirable that he takes his work so seriously, by taking a break he can refresh and bring even newer and better ideas to his work.
If he won’t have a “real” holiday, why not suggest he at least takes a long weekend break and goes the SOF bash, that would be a working holiday and he could meet loadsa like minded people and bring lots of good ideas back with him. He might even meet FN folk there (there is a rumour that they somewhat took over the place last time)

I am off to the Lake District in a week’s time, and I am hoping to bring some "earthy" ideas back with me. So to answer the thread, yes I think it is very important to take a break. I you can’t close the shop down pay someone to run it for a week for you!

I get the odd weekend here and there when my mum covers for me. Other than that I take hogmanay until the first back that the wholesalers open.
