Hen Weekend Part 2 - The Detox

Next morning the Hens and I roused ourselves - some earlier than others - and had breakfast. Claire, Kathy and Sancha departed and so Julie, Jane and I headed for town to do some Sunday shopping. Julie bought loads, in particular at Pink Lemon, Bijoux Beads and the Roman Baths Shop, so that we worried that she would be unable to take it all back on the train! My sister, Shirl, arrived a little late and the four of us had a really good lunch at the Cafe du Globe before Julie parted.
The remaining three of us headed for the Thermae Spa for two hours in the large complex. We chilled out in the rooftop pool with beautiful views of the Regency buildings of Bath and the Somerset hills, detoxed in the aromatherapy steam rooms, and went round and round in the 'lazy river' of the Minerva pool. My skin always feels great after a visit to the spa, and I always feel very relaxed too. It might have been somewhat over budget but I think it's a great asset to the town.
After the spa it was goodbye to Shirl as she left to catch her train home, and Jane and I went to meet Patrick and Simon in the Moorfields pub where they too were looking very relaxed and happy after Patrick's stag weekend aboard Ripple.
Hey not long to wait now - only 3 more days till the big event!!
