HEALTH TOURISM

In the nineteenth century it was a commonly-held belief – even among Medical Professionals – that a Change of Air could cure many (if not all) ills. Indeed Health Tourism was a major industry, with Spas and Convalescent Asylums all over the world. 

Many of these were in glamorous places such as Germany, Switzerland, Italy and the French Riviera, although there were also a few in the UK.

Weston-super-Mare was never a Spa Town as such, but I hope its gaiety and sunshine will exert a healing influence on Wilson and restore him to full health.

Since he was still in very low spirits when he retired last night, you can imagine my delight when I found him packed and ready to leave this morning!

I'd better get on-line and book us some accommodation!
