But frankly, Gooder House was beautiful, I wouldn't have minded not getting out of bed for 4 days! Newly refurbished and very nicely done. It felt calm and tranquil. Perfect for a R&R escape from Christmas! We did however venture out. Just!
I even indulged with a morning at The Dart Spa. Heaven. Much needed too! A spot of lunch in the very civilised lounge followed. Earl grey tea and a huge sandwich. Awfully lovely, thank you! Hubby didn't join me, opting for a 40 mile cycle ride. Good on him!
Our days involved refueling regularly. Us, not the car. That stayed in the garage ! A cosy beer in The Cherub on Monday afternoon, tapas at Bayards Inn on a winters evening, lunch at the Floating Bridge on New Years Eve, warming soup and mulled wine late afternoon at Dart Cafe and of course fish and chips! Can that be all ?
So, Christmas seems a long distant memory and I'm looking forward to work on Monday. A successful break!
