Sybaritic Delights.

Today, four daughters and I are off to spend the night at Stobo Castle Health Spa for 24 hours of relaxation and female bonding without any pretence on my part of overt parenting. Everything has been organised from Leeds by my youngest daughter as my pre- birthday bash. I'm very excited about it all having never put a foot inside a health spa before. I am eschewing any specialised treatments because they would break my piggy bank, but am looking forward to swimming and a little light excercise before a dinner filled with wine and laughter in that order. We depart tomorrow after a healthy lunch to return to the real world.

Today's blip is a quick one as my chauffeur is expected soon. It is a sculpture by daughter #1's husband with words by his Lordship and stands in the front of the castle. It is up to you to interpret it in whatever way you want.
