Wow! I have just spent an absolutely fantastic weekend at a superb hotel in the Cotswolds. Nick and I have been to this hotel before it is called Tortworth Court and I highly recommend it. Beautiful surroundings, fantastic food and friendly efficient staff. What more could you ask for in a weekend getaway? I'll answer my own question - NOTHING!
The real joy of a weekend like this for me comes from the fact that all traces of hospitals and dialysis disappear. OK so I still have to watch my food and drink but hey when you are in a beautiful country house with a spa and the man you love there has to be worse things in life. In fact I would say I am feeling fully recharged and ready to take on the world yet again.
Nick commented that a weekend like the one we have just enjoyed is something we should try to do twice a year. I'm in full agreement and am already planning our next weekend for when Nick comes home from the South Atlantic. I'm not someone who has ever really wanted to travel. I love this country I live in and believe there is so much to see and learn right here on our doorstep in good old GB. I love travelling in this country seeing all the regional differences and eating increasingly good food where ever you go.
Oh well back home and the washing and ironing will have to be done - but it can wait a little longer ....... Bye.
