I have this month something to look forward to which is very nice, although really it is next month as it is April the 3rd when I get my treat, my son in law Graham has paid for both Joe and myself to go to Center Parcs Longleat for a full day spa session with lunch included and a facial and a hot stone massage. This could not be a better gift for me as I really love going to the Aqua Sana it will be mothers day so it will be awesome to spend it with Joe both of us being totally pampered.
It came just at the right time as I was starting to feel jaded, everything seemed so depressing, the cost of fuel, the cost of food, no jobs and the rest of the world seeming to be hell bent on killing one another. I pick up the paper to read about mothers killing their children, children in Libya dieing in the street, and it really seems as though we are in a global state of confusion.
The other thought that grabbed me is that at the moment everything seems to have to be fought for, we have had to fight to save of forests from our own government, now we are having to fight to save our libraries, Joe and I are constantly having to fight to get the things we need for Paige, it does feel that we live in a battle zone. I read about other families on Mumsnet and most of them are horror stories, families living under threat that social services will simply take there kids off them if they make too much fuss, and yet under our noses in Salisbury we see a family where the mother is often high on drugs and drink she has been reported several times to social services about her poor kids and what happens nothing at all. Inside I feel I want to make it all correct and yet I believe I then would be nothing more than another dictator so who knows from all this confusion maybe the sun will shine, I know it will for me when I am at Longleat, that day I will leave the real world behind just for those few hours I will be in my own fantasy world, thank you Graham, love you loads.xxx
