Spa afternoon

My very good friend bought me a spa afternoon with her at a local retreat for my Christmas pressie. So lovely and so generous!

N had Baby L for the afternoon and, despite feeling a bit guilty for the first hour or so, I managed to relax a bit.

We spent time in the steam room and hydrotherapy pool followed by a 40 minute back massage, a luxurious shower with all the fab products and a yummy afternoon tea.

The lady who did my massage asked about any medical things so I filled her in on the relevant bits to do with my back... at the end (after battling with the collection of marbles and rocks I keep in my shoulders) she said, "you must get a lot of pain in your back".
Um, yep!

Got home to find that Baby L had not napped since lunchtime, despite N's best efforts. Little monkey. She's beyond tired tonight.
