Luxurious Spa Day

Today Heather took me for a "Lazy Afternoon" spa day to Stobo Castle and we had a fantastic time. This was my 50th birthday present from her and Ewan. Heather collected me in the morning and drove me there and back, she made me feel really special and pampered all day. We had lunch in a café in Biggar (Heather had a panini which she knows my opinions on - panini looks like a toastie that has been run over by a car!)) When we arrived at Stobo Castle we were given a tour then went for a swim in the pool, which is a good size with beautiful views over the woods and the hills beyond. We then went into the steam rooms and jacuzzi and of course we braved the cold to get into the outdoor hot tub. It was nice and hot  once we got in. However getting back out was rather daunting! My heroine Heather got out first and even got the towels! Soon it was time for afternoon tea which was very substantial - sandwiches, scones with jam and cream AND cakes. Later we both had facials - I loved the face mask which smelled of peaches and raspberries. What a lovely and luxurious day!
