Relax by doing things they enjoy such as flying kites, flirting with each other, or sitting chatting to each other over a glass of wine whilst watching their (very picturesque) world go by.

Have a strong sense of faith and worship at the local churches, thus maintaining a sense of meaning and spiritual connection.
