Not all emails are created equal and when James Villas emailed me to ask if they could send us away on holiday, it was definitely a GREAT email day.

At this time of the year most of us think about going on a family holiday. It is great to break out of your routine and enjoy some time together.

It’s now only a few weeks until Christmas and the festiveness has started creeping into our daily lives. The decorations going up and the shops filling up with presents to tempt us all.

When we were asked by TravelSupermarket if we wanted to go to Barcelona for the weekend as part of their #SuperCityBreaks campaign, it didn’t take us long to respond with a big ‘YES PLEASE!’.
