A treat from hubby!

31.6 weeks

Dan treated me to a surprise spa weekend away to an amazing hotel called Pennyhill Park in Bagshot (near Basingstoke). I know of this hotel as it is a celebrity haunt and never would have expected to be able to stay there... it's very pricey!

We arrived to find that the England Rugby team were also staying there (it is their residence hotel when playing at Twickenham) which I think swayed Dan when choosing a hotel to stay at. It was pretty cool coz we got to meet/see lots of the players (not that I knew who they were) but Dan was in his element!!!

Here is Dan with Mark Cueto (very good looking!)

and here are some other players heading for the coach to Twickenham.

Dan had booked me in for a 1.5 hour pregnancy massage and facial which was absolute bliss! Pennyhill is famous for their pregnancy facilities which in all honesty I could not fault, it was amazing! The spa was huge!!!! On the Sunday, after brekkie with the players :0) we went back to use the spa which consisted of outside thermal pools, several steam/warm/cold rooms, a sensory room (where you get to have a nap on water beds!), foot massage chairs, massive pool and anything else you can think of! It was truly amazing and such luxury! If you ever want a spa hotel, go here!!!above - Dan checking out the pile of ice in the 'ice room', chilly! He actually threw some down my gown, I was not a happy bunny!

below - me being a chubbs in the steam room. Look at that belly!!!

Here I am posing with my bump (which looks huge) in front of the thermal spas and the main hotel (aka Hogwarts).

We had a suite booked, called Hibiscus (no room numbers here!), which was huge too! Massive bathroom and even a Pillow Menu to choose from (I choose 2 extra ones to help support the bump!). We had the best night sleep ever!

Another part of the treat was the food..... Afternoon tea on the Saturday, yummy! Lots and lots of food, even too much for Dan!

The evening then began with a 7 course meal in the Michelin star hotel restaurant. They could not do enough to help with my 'condition'! Every bit of food served was adapted to my pregnancy, fantastic! Dan managed to drink most of the red wine, followed by a selection of yummy cheese from the huge variety they had on the trolley (I miss wine and cheese!).

After dinner we headed to the bar which was full of players, wives and other rugby staff. You could see that every man was more interested in what Martin Johnson (England coach) was up to rather than listening to their wives, hehe!

It was an amazing surprise and such a perfect weekend, I felt truly spoilt and a very very lucky girl! I just hope I get to visit Pennyhill again!
