I thought I would put up some pictures I took on my way to work at 5.30 one morning.
Same spot, just different zooms!
What a strange month this has been. The first Saturday was our Ladies Open, I narrowly missed winning the best local handicap by one point to a lady who only just rejoined our club after a few years absence! It was a great day though and the rain stayed off until the prizegiving.
Last weekend I played golf on Saturday morning and got a sunburned neck because I missed a spot with the sun cream! Got eaten alive by the midges. Sunday was day 2 of a motorcycle trial. I went along to take some pictures for our village magazine. Unfortunately the stage I was taking photos at was under trees and I got eaten alive again! Still suffering from the itchy bites now - that is one thing I dont like about living here!
One of my pals and I have booked 2 nights at Stobo Castle Health Spa near Peebles. It is total luxury and pampering. the 25 metre pool is ozone treated - no chlorine smell. I just love spending hours swimming around. The hydrospa is so relaxing and there are 3 different levels of steam room. The food is fantastic - not just lettuce leaves! Rich chocolate and wine! We are going for the mud room where you both sit there in paper knickers and smother each other with mud. She has done it before and says that she had adverse reactions in the wind department the next day - maybe I should take a clothes peg for my nose! LOL. We managed to get a summer deal which gives us a free back massage each as well, and then I am also having a full body massage. I am so looking forward to it.
On those thoughts I will sign off for now.

Take me with you to the spa sounds fab. I've always fancied a mud treatment. Toady
Those pictures are beautiful. The spa sounds interesting! Not sure it's my cup of tea but I can definitely see the attraction of the swimming for hours and the rich chocolate! Isn't the mud smearing thing a bit personal? Or am I just a prude!! Anyway, have a wonderful time and I hope to read about it on your return.

Bah - hope you have a wonderful time - and don't forget I want to come along too next time. Headmistress arms folded foot tapping AND the stare. Will expect an essay about when you come back.
I think you should arrange for a field trip for all at Purplecoo. I'm sure we'd all have a wonderful time at the spa! I would go nearly anywhere for a massage - foot,back, all-over....I'm your gal! I hope you have a grand time and come back to write all about it.
