On A Mission To Relax

I’m on a mission to relax I’ve just got to which is hard and you can imagine I might be anxious in writing this . I was lucky enough to win a lovely Spa in a box hamper and there are various items in the hamper which I’m working my way through. However I’m stumped with the fascination of bath bombs I thought I’d try the one I got in the spa in the box prize . I lobbed into the bath like a relaxation grenade ( good name I think ) and it was labelled hypobath so I thought yes yes it’s going to hyponise me with all matter of magic and colours but it just fizzed and fizzed and that was it.

And also the word could doesn’t mean you actually should when it comes to chocolate I said to my husband “ you could take the last bit of chocolate “ the word could in my mind implies he could but shouldn’t as it was mine.

Tenpin Bowling Derby

I have all the grace of a giraffe trying to bowl but bowling is top family entertainment and I even had the bumpers off when I went bowling with my family. Myself and my family were kindly invited to the relaunch of the Tenpin bowling at Foresters Park Osmaston Park Derby.

Tenpin Derby has gone through a £270,000 refurbishment introducing new flat screens, arcade games and bowling machines. I love the fact that the flat screens were above the bowling lanes and showed the scores ( well when I eventually got on the score board that is ! ) Along with showing the scores the screens also show music videos. 

I effortlessly glided down the bowling alley or in the words of Mr T

“ Barns Wallis had nothing on you “

Mr T of course was referring to my bouncing bomb technique and it seemed to work ; yes I came last but getting on the scoreboard was victory enough for me.And I love that new bowling bowls have been brought and there’s no need to worry about dodgy bowling shoes as now you wear your own, just make sure you wear grippy shoes !

The bowling machines are more reliable so there’s less chance of breakdown.

There’s also laser quest to have a go with and this is immensely popular with everyone and I remember my son enjoying many a party running round doing this.Add into the mix of this mega family entertainment new pool tables,table tennis tables,and arcade games then you’ve a very family friendly trip out.And of course no trip to bowling is complete without a burger and fries reasonably priced.

Gloucester and Croome Park (National Trust ) an Ideal break for adults and families

The city of Gloucester welcomed myself any my husband this weekend gone and we thought it was the perfect place for me to recover from a throat/ear sinus infection while the penicillin did its work.

Any trip to Gloucester is not complete without a trip to the 11th century Gloucester Cathedral, resting place of King Edward II, also the home of the the  majestic Great East Window>The Cathedral is a popular film and television location having been used in such films as Harry Potter and television series such as Sherlock,Wolf Hall and Doctor Who a hugely popular film and television location. As you explore the magnificent fan-faulted cloisters you can imagine yourself in Harry Potter.At the historic Gloucester Docks which is only just a short walk and has been used in an Alice Wonderland film : Through the Looking Glass. The water front is an ideal place to relax with many bars and restaurants it is lovely to wander round the Gloucester Docks and Gloucester Quays. 

The Tailor of Gloucester Beatrix Potter Museum and Shop is located in the original building used by Beatrice Potter in her story The Tailor of Gloucester – a real-life mystery based on the city’s John Pritchard.

We also visited the remains of a secret wartime air base, now a visitor Centre, where thousands of people lived and worked in the 1940s and enjoy a visit to our new wartime museum. We love our walk through through a masterpiece in landscape design, which is 'Capability' Brown's very first. It has been painstakingly restored what was once lost and overgrown 18th century parkland and this valuable  work today. 

Find the beautiful Croome Court, the home of the Earls of Coventry, at the heart of the park, which has been patiently waiting for its revival. There is a beautiful walk around Croome and what ever the time of year it is a breathtaking property then we will revisit.

"Happiness is just a tea cup away "

Happiness Is Just A Tea Cup Away

Sometimes I just speak my mind but always with politeness ever so much politeness and I wonder because I choose to speak my mind if that perplexes people. People always have a concept of how you are how you should be how you should act. But if I have a cup of tea with a friend and cake then I really can be myself with no filters and that’s refreshing because people really do like me for who I am .

I had tea with a friend and I was brought coffee by mistake and I nearly just settled with it just to be polite.But I was encouraged to speak up speak out and go for my beloved cup of tea and I was jolly glad I did. If I don’t get my tea levels I do go feral as I have to keep my tea levels topped up.

“happiness is just a tea cup away “

Tea I love tea be it virtual and or real tea I just love tea .

Being myself is really important and I like that and you know what even the other day I treated myself to some new socks , I love socks as much as I like a cup of tea.
