Postnatal spa day

Today my dear friend, G, and I had our very over due spa day at Stobo Castle. We met at NCT antenatal classes 9 years ago and have always promised that we would have a spa day once we'd got thro pregnancy and birth. It's obviously taken us a long time to get over those two, as 9 years later we just did it! The drive there was absolutely glorious - mist in the valleys, dew on spiders webs, red and yellow leaves catching the early sun, morning sun casting shadows over fields of straw bales...the Scottish Borders at their best. Perfect set up for spending the day lying in a hot tub gazing at autumn colours and trying out the various steam rooms. I feel relaxed and rested, and love my painted toe nails...I may have developed a pedicure habit now....
