A window, or picture, into the wide world
While travel is off the agenda, here are some inspirational images to keep you dreaming…
It’s a well-known fact that when you tell someone not to do something, they are more motivated than ever to do it*. There are plenty of reasons for this, but two key ones are: people like to be in control of their lives and humans are notoriously curious creatures.
Therefore, since the Foreign Office extended its ban on non-essential global travel “for an indefinite period’ it is no wonder we’re dreaming of visiting far-flung places (or just sunbathing in the local park) even more.
To sate this need, we’ve gathered a selection of inspirational imagery together, from horse riding into the sunset and hiking up a magnificent mountain to staring at the twinkling stars and relaxing next to a sparkling lake.
Just sit back, look at the image and hopefully you’ll be transported there. And (fingers crossed) you’ll be there in person sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, stay safe, stay home and stay well!
Best wishes,
