Coughing and romance....


I have been feeling bleurgh this weekend 
and mostly just lay in bed lots, 
grumbling and moping and feeling ill.

And then, just when my grumpdom was reaching its hideous climax, 
I heard a super-lovely voice calling up to me: 
"Your bath is ready"...

My gorgeous husband 
had filled the bath with bubbles,
 the room with candles 
and made me a steaming mug 
of honey and lemon.

Oh. My. Word.

He rocks my heart.

    'There is little better for one's constitution then a steaming bath of froth and scent...' (okay I totally made that up, it isn't really quote, but it should be!

    Lots of sleep, food and baths are in order for you - Well done Mr. Modern-Country. He sounds like he's got it sussed!!!

    Hope you begin to feel better.
