SENT: when mission takes us to a holiday cottage

David McKie

If a holiday cottage could write, it would fill many a book.

Visitors come and go and the cottage is woven into the tapestry of life. More often than not, the cottage forms the centrepiece of the annual holiday highlight. It offers four walls of protection from the hustle and bustle of the daily slog, a much-needed haven. Depending on its setting, it will also serve as a door into another world, a world of beauty and escape.

David McKie and his wife, Gill, know this very well. David has found himself in one or the other cottage in the Lake District at least once a year since he was six weeks old. He has always associated the Lakes with a place of peace and refreshment. In fact, he says: ‘It is unique. There is nothing like it. It is irreplaceable to me and I would not want to miss coming here. When I am here, I feel closer to God.’
