The house where we are staying is pretty nice but nothing architecturally amazing. It’s a 50’s (if i guess correctly) extension on a much older farmhouse, so half the doorways were made for people Genevieve’s height. It’s got some beautiful exposed wood beams and luckily i fit under those. White painted exterior and tastefully modern interiors, furnished simply (with beds that have ends…) But the location is about as beautiful as is possible in the UK.

Biker Miles
For a bed with an “end” I actually slept quite well! I’m sure the relaxing hot tub and sauna, combined with some muscle relaxant beers helped a little. But this morning dawned with me feeling better than I do in my own bed to be honest, even if this bed did have an end!

Shrewsbury Steam Fair
No walk needed for the dogs this morning (other than the obligatory squat n pop) We are going to the most British thing you can do during the spotty British summer. We are off to Shrewsbury Steam Fair!

Formula 1 Family Day
Driving down the motorway this morning I was in a bad mood. Work should not affect your mood in your recreation time but the reality is, it does. But some overpriced coffee and a two-hour journey later I found myself at the Silverstone race circuit.

Return To Our Valley
We’re back in Singapore again! Our first flight was really not so bad. With the extra leg room it was very comfortable. We managed about an hour of sleep, which was good but maybe a mistake. Getting kicked off the plane in Changi it was hard to focus on where we needed to go.
I had been looking forward to taking the skytrain through the Jewel shopping centre, over the waterfall, but it had been stopped for the night. The delay in departing meant we should have arrived at 00:20 but we actually got there at 01:40. The skytrain stops each night at 01:30 for maintenance. Oh well, we get a bit of a walk.

End Of Our Honeymoon
What have I done?! Why am I contorted into these shapes? I’ve spent the last 30 minutes with my weight on my hands. My hands are not used to my weight! Who’s idea was it to do yoga?!

Relaxation Culmination
Dawn broke, and I was up early again for some yoga. Aimi was all curled up in bed sleeping, so I snuck out and down to the studio.

This really is a beautiful hotel. It’s very comfy, not so expensive, quiet, and has a great pool. All leading to over indulgence in the sun. We aren’t very practised sunbathers, so we got caught out. Must wear a T-shirt all day today.
