MPs have kicked off their 11-day Easter holiday as they finally get the chance to take a brief break from Brexit .
Speculation is now mounting that Theresa May will take a walking holiday after the Commons rose at 5pm today.
It comes hours after EU chief Donald Tusk begged the UK not to "waste" a new, six-month delay to Brexit.
Yet MPs cheered today when the shortened holiday was confirmed - with many claiming it would be a chance to get their heads straight.
The careworn Prime Minister urged MPs to use the time to "reflect" on decisions around Brexit to find a way through when they return on April 23.
Mrs May famously used an Easter walking holiday in Wales to decide to hold the disastrous 2017 general election.

Speculation was rife in Westminster today that she will now take a similar holiday.
Downing Street sources did not rule out the prospect - as senior Tory MP Charles Walker urged her to have "a few days off next week" to recover.
Mrs May told MPs: "I am sure everybody across the whole of this House is looking forward to the opportunity to actually take some time to reflect on the issues we're dealing with in this house, to do this away from this chamber."
She added: "Let us use the opportunity of the Recess to reflect on the decisions that will have to be made swiftly on our return after Easter.
"And let us then resolve to find a way through this impasse."
Jeremy Corbyn slams Theresa May's Brexit 'failure' - but ploughs into MORE talks
MPs have repeatedly faced attacks over their long breaks from Parliament in the past.
But they also had their February recess cancelled and Easter break cut short by a week due to the Brexit chaos.
It means this is the first recess the Commons has had since Christmas ended on January 7.
Labour former church minister Chris Bryant said: "I'm delighted we're having an Easter recess.
"At the rate we were going I thought we would get to Easter Sunday and the good Lord would rise again before this House ever did."
Despite the break, Jeremy Corbyn is expected to be on a local elections tour in northern English towns on Monday and Tuesday next week.
Brexit talks between Labour and the Tories to find a plan are also due to continue, though it is understood dates and attendees have not yet been confirmed.
A spokesman was unable to confirm if Labour's leader had any holiday plans.
