When the British winter starts to get you down, remember that the Canary Islands are just 4 hours flying time from London, which is a fair bit quicker and far less stressful than driving from Manchester to Devon or, from London to the Lake District. So even if its just for a long weekend break to recharge your batteries, why not consider the south-west coast of Gran Canaria. The expansive, sunny beaches of Maspalomas, the fairways of Salobre Golf, the trendy restaurants of Puerto de Mogan and the ever popular boat trips and water sports at Puerto Rico.
