Here we go again. Suitcases at the ready, piles of neatly folded clothes. But this time we are travelling for pleasure. A last minute booking for a weekend in a country hotel on the edge of Sherwood Forest. That’s what the brochure says, the reality is more like a holiday camp for grown ups. But who cares we are getting away!!!!!! And this time it is for pleasure. A two-hour drive, no hanging around airports just get in the car, drive, and we will be there. It’s awhile since I had occasion to wear my glad rags, and yesterday I became aware of the collateral damage of G’s treatment. I have put on weight. I joined him too often in starchy calorie laden snacks as he struggled to put back the weight he lost. Comfort eating, chocolate and glasses of wine haven’t helped either. Heigh ho, all was not lost. I used the excuse to shop and shop. With new clothes, hair do booked for this afternoon and spa treatments to look forward to; I am so going to enjoy our break. The diet can wait until Monday!
