Spa morning

Woke up during in night and eventually got up at 7.30 had breakfast then off to Aldwark manor at 9.30 for our spa morning, as only 5 minutes down the road. As unfortunately we didn't have enough time to do a full spa day as probably would of preferred Rockcliffe hall or Seaham hall but aldwark more convenient. Aldwark manor is a fantastic old manor house set in lovely grounds, the spa and health club is very quiet with a pool, steam/sauna room and gym. Me and mum visited aldwark manor reflections spa as a treat to ourselves and its always nice to have some pampering now and again. Our 1st appointment was 10 am and unfortunately there couldn't fit in 2x60 minute treatment so I let mum have the 60 minute treatment and I got 2x 20 minute ones. Got to wear my new swimsuit which I got from Seafolly in Australia and was nice to wander around in robe. My first treatment I decided to have was head, shoulder, neck and back massage as my shoulders were tense and felt it helped. Was taken to thevrelaxation room but decided woukd prefer to use facilities so went in the steam room. It was then time for my next treatment this time decided to have a facial as is recommend every few months and not had one for ages. I then went to meet mum in the spa first was into the jacuzzi, steam room and then for a little which was nice and cool then to sauna, steam room and pool. My favourite was definitely the steam room and i usually prefer the sauna as like it hot, unfortunately didn't have time to use gym. We left the spa facilities at 12.15 to go changed for our light lunch where we got 2 courses and we prefer had the same. First was pancetta and onion tart then salmon seemed small but was very filling with new potatoes but mum not keen on new potatoes so got chips aswell. It was a great place to be pampered for half day by attentive staff in the Spa and enjoy fine dining in the restaurant, but not sure if coud do full day here. After was straight to boroughbridge to put Rachel's cheque for NYE cruise in bank and to fill car up for my journey later on. It was then home time for cup of tea and then time to head to Chester left just after 2ish and was fine when left.
