I’ve under-packed and overthought. Having never actually experienced ‘winter sun’, we’re finding the whole concept incredibly confusing. It feels wrong to be packing shorts in a suitcase and the thought of lying on a sun bed in 27-degree heat is totally alien right now.
I know we’re obsessed with the weather, but it’s never been colder, wetter or more unpredictable at home. So while the UK is still bracing winter, I’m in Turkey with my brood – husband James, and children Rosie, 15, and Poppy, 12. We’re staying in Rixos Sungate hotel in Antalya, a city and Mediterranean sea port in the southwest of the country.
