Bath Time

I’d bought a couple of quiches yesterday from the boulangerie, and thought they would make a great picnic for us, so we packed up our rucksack with a flask of tea, a couple of madeleines, a cold drink and our quiches and set off for a walk. It turned out to be quite a lengthy walk, around 8 miles, which, in our currently relatively unfit state, that took some effort. Especially on the way back, when we saw a sign that said 3km pointing to a long slow hike upwards. It’s not that hilly here, but when there are lots of ups and downs it mounts up.

It was a glorious walk through vineyards, across fields, through woodland, past quaint old houses and, best of all, some excellent picnic stops.

We arrived home just after 6. We’d been out for about three and half hours, and were feeling the strain on our muscles and feet so, after a stretch, I suggested we ran a bath before dinner. We enjoyed a relax with some ‘Space NK Laughter bath salts’ and, in my opinion, the best ever view from a bath in the world.
