It is an odd sight to see a place full of middle aged women drifting about in dressing gowns. It is supposed to be a relaxing experience, but many of the women seemed to be rushing around just as frantically as they would at home ! From aqua mitt to hula hoop to Thalassotherapy to.... well, Goodness knows. I was too exhausted to notice after a while. My sister-in-law and I chatted and read. I went for a swim and a steam and then had a facial. My therapist was lovely, but seemed determined to tell me about her hormone problems. I listened politely and sympathised. She told me how she always used Champneys products, apart from when her skin flared up,which it seems to do rather a lot, and then she uses Clinique. She wrote me a prescription for all the Champneys products I ought to buy and then told me that they weren't cheap " because they're crap " but because Champneys had them made over here and so didn't have to pay import taxes. Mmmm....

It wasn't as luxurious as I had imagined and I wouldn't go again. We decided that we would rather go to a lovely hotel with our husbands and be pampered in lovely surroundings. I think that I am not suited for slobbing about in bath robes and being made to eat vegetables and yoghurt. I'm glad that I went, but next time I have a weekend away it will be with my Man and a big bottle of champagne.... I should be so lucky !!

Sounds wonderful! Now how far away is that from Melbourne, Arkansas?
It still sounds nice to me, and I think, somehow, I'd find a way to smuggle in chocolates...they don't search your bags when you arrive do they?!?!?!
I would L-O-V-E to have a massage and facial right now....mmmmm...wonder if I can convince my little ones to crawl and walk on my back???
Glad you had some fun out of it, and hope that a weekend away with your darling will happen sooner than you think!
