Mum and Dad came up at 10am to look after the boys and Rufus. We set off shortly afterwards and had a nice journey. We stopped at Ball/ grill ( our usual holiday food stop destination!) for lunch.
I had a lovely cheese and mushroom omelette with fries and peas. John had a cooked breakfast.
We drove around P/th and Auchter/der then went to Gleneagles at 3pm. It's a lovely hotel!
Our receptionist took us to our room which was a Sovereign room which was lovely.
In the afternoon we went for a walk around the hotel grounds and the maze. Then we went to the swimming pool and had a lovely time. We swam for a while then went outside to the hot pool. We've never been outside in a pool in the middle of winter before but it was lovely to feel the cold air on our shoulders and be in the lovely hot water.We then went to the sauna which was lovely as it had a screen with "swimming fish" and sounds of the rainforest inside the sauna. After we went into the steam room which had a nice perfumed smell.
Back into the swimming pool then out again to the hot water pool before we headed back up to our room.
I phoned home at 7pm and spoke to my mum, dad and the boys which was lovely.
