'Um why are we going away again so soon?'
In fact, Northern Ireland is a trip I've been lobbying for for years. Although in our youth this land was all over our TV screens, torn by violence and civil war, this is a moment of comparative peace, an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful landscape, wildlife and history.
It turned out Nigel had made the arrangements while I was in grief over the death of my mother as a gift to me.
But why now?
The trip will coincide with our 40th wedding anniversary - a chance to celebrate.
So although I feel a bit sheepish about going way on holiday again, I think I'll just say 'Thank you very much, Nigel.'
