    Enjoy your time away.  Hope the warning light isn't anything big.

    Good morning SYA,

    lovely to hear from you and that you're enjoying your time there and great news that the car is ok too!

    I'm very pleased  to hear that you've extended your holiday as it will be a chance to have a break from all that you did and also give you some reflection and preparation time. 
    It will be tough going back and not having your DF there waiting, and of course you will miss him.
    After this break you will return knowing that it is going to be a new life and you will adjust to that in time.

    Sending you hugs ( probably covered in horse hair - sorry )
