This summer, I went to Crete on a family holiday that was never supposed to happen. For my wife Laura and I, 2025 was meant to be very different.
We started the year preparing for the arrival of our second child, excited to become a family of four and welcome a sibling for our toddler, Theodore.
With such joyful upheaval coming fast around the corner, our next holiday would – understandably – have to wait.
I've often heard that parents feel more laid back about the arrival of their second child, and that was certainly true of us as we headed into the new year.
