Hobbit sauna

After 4 and a half hours of yoga a day - 2.5 hours before breakfast and another 2 in the afternoon - hard work but very rewarding. I realised why everyone here spends the rest of the day bathing, snoozing, eating or getting massages.

The sauna built into the side of the hill with a wee burn running alongside was blissful.

I chickened out of immersing myself in the plunge pool, the big barrel outside, not because because I didn’t fancy the cold water but because I was convinced I’d not be able to climb back out. So I settled for just throwing the refreshing cold water over me.
