Hello peeps. I have been recovering from 'trainitis'! *Ü* My Mother's Day treat was just fab - spending time with my eldest daughter Lisa. It required me to travel to her home where I stayed overnight. I first diverted my train journey to visit my mum in a nursing home. The station ticket officer printed me travel directions which meant I had to change 3 times on the train as there isn't a direct route! By the time I arrived at Victoria, one station master suggested that I got the direct train to my destination, however, he didn't tell me that I would be going on a route half way around the south of England! LOL.
I did get to spend an hour and half with my mum before another journey to my daughter's which involved a change along the way with a half hour wait for 1 train! Phew! Carrying my little case was a chore - up the stairs - over the bridge, down the stairs and onto the platform - at least 4 times!
Lisa met me at the station and as she doesn't have the car during the week, we walked to her home - another half hour joined en route by eldest granddaughter! Needless to say, by the time we arrived, I was quite in need of a rest. After saying hello to the rest of the family, Lisa and I went out for a meal - the 1st part of my Mother's Day treat. I chose an Italian restaurant, where we had a fun evening, catching up with the goss! *Ü*
It was a late night for us but I managed to stay awake and enjoy the evening.
Next morning, we were up early and started our trip to Center Parcs in Longleat - chauffeur driven by my son-in-law...into the deep, deep forest! *Ü* I love this topiary collection of letters and forest animals.
...enter into a different world...
The rest of the day was soo worth the car and train rides. Pure bliss. So many different rooms and treatments to enjoy. There were water beds to relax on, steam rooms, where there were many different aromas. A jacuzzi pool, sensory rooms and saunas. Lunch was included, as was 2 drinks and a cake!
...1st stop...resting on a water bed...
...a sensory room with a circular white leather seating area...
...and finishing off with another treat...hot chocolate with a 'twist' on a choc au pain croissant! *Ü*
I was thoroughly spoiled by my daughter and I appreciated every minute of my day....before embarking on my train journey home!
I hope all you mothers had a wonderful Mother's Day. *Ü* Check in soon for a post and photos of The Osmond concert.
