It’s that time again. That time when those words ‘Back to School’ seem to appear everywhere.
It’s September and as ingrained in our calendars as much as Christmas and Easter, there’s the whole ‘Back to School’ message. Every shop window, every email, everywhere you look. And it’s nearly always written in chalk - on a blackboard isn’t it? Noticed that? When did anyone last see that in real life?
Anyway, in stark contrast to ‘Back to School’ it’s time you had some lessons about holidays. And in particular holiday homes. Listen up - here come the lessons!
1. Time for maths - why a UK holiday home makes financial sense
First lesson, and not everybody’s favourite, but this time it’s full of good news. Buying your own UK holiday home makes sound financial sense. The numbers add up.
Now more than ever we’re having to think through all the possible avenues for our financial future. Even the global experts admit to an unprecedented level of uncertainty. And it’s more than just numbers now. We want our money to work for us, and we want it to be safe. But we want it to contribute more to the way we live. In fact we want more out of life.
You could for example think about a Suffolk holiday home, or start considering Lincolnshire caravans, but the overriding point is that you’ll be putting your money into an investment that makes the numbers work as well as making your lifestyle work.
Your money is safe, and your investment can produce additional income from letting out your holiday home. And your future is looking good too. With somewhere to go to when you want, somewhere you can share with family and friends, you’re making your money make you a better life. Adds up well doesn’t it?

2. Science - how a UK holiday home is better for the environment
Pay attention. This is important.
The biggest scientific issue on the timetable right now is the planet. Climate change is happening and we have to do something about it. If that sounds like a big leap to holiday homes - it’s not.

And it’s not just the travelling. Airports themselves are generating huge amounts of carbon. Reducing our usage of them, and all the waste they generate, will help the planet.
A holiday home in Norfolk at Caldecott Hall Country Park, or at Redcar Beach in North Yorkshire, will give you all the space and holiday opportunities you want. But not at the expense of our planet.
With your own UK seaside holiday home you can help reduce that carbon footprint. Just leave some footprints in the sand…
3. Sociology - a UK holiday home can boost your social relationships
Are you chewing? Come out to the front.
Behavioural and sociological changes are taking place at a dizzying speed. We are reassessing how we relate to our surroundings and to each other. We want more experiences and more freedom in our lives, while at the same time leading a simpler life. It’s a difficult balance and without a doubt the changes in attitude have been accelerated by our experience of a pandemic.
We liked the idea of ‘getting away from it all’ and, be honest, that often meant getting away from the family. Now we think differently. We want to have more time with out families and friends. We want to enjoy simpler pleasures.
A holiday home at South Shore in East Yorkshire, or North Denes in Suffolk could be exactly what you need in your life. It’s about the freedom. It’s about the way in which you can bring family and friends together in one place - to share time, food and conversation.
It’s an important subject. Think about it.
4. Geography - the perfect location for your holiday home is in the UK
You’re doing very well. Break time soon.
Let us now consider the geography of the UK. There may have been political, social and financial changes lately but the glorious landscape of our country does not change rapidly. And we’re pleased about that. Because it’s really very beautiful.
One of the joys of deciding on owning your own UK holiday home is choosing where it will be. Do you want to be close to the Lincolnshire coast as well as the Wolds? Mablethorpe is your place. If the Broads and the Norfolk coastline suits your style then check out Caldecott Hall Country Park. North Yorkshire? It’s Redcar Beach. East Yorkshire? South Shore is the place.
The UK offers some of the most attractive and spectacular scenery and beaches in the world. So enjoy it and make your holiday home here. Own it.
Get creative with your holiday home
5. Art and design - get creative with your holiday home decor
Your final lesson for today allows you to express yourselves.
One of the really brilliant things about owning your own UK holiday home is that you can personalise it and decorate it in your style. Accessorise it with things from Norfolk, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire - wherever your holiday home happens to be. Choose fabrics that suit the seaside and colours that capture your style. Add photos and pictures, because let’s face it, it’s all about the memories. They matter. And that’s a lesson we’ve all learned.
