Holiday Stuff

Over the Christmas break I was able to get away for a night with a friend for a spa treatment, some fine dining, nice wine and a general chill. Chill being the operative word as you can see from the photo taking at 11 am the following morning. We decided on the Bloomfield Hotel in Mullingar which has a 3 star rating. The package included one night bed and breakfast, spa treatment and dinner in their fine restaurant. We arrived at 3.30 in time for our spa treatment (back massage) which was absolutely bliss. We then had dinner at around 6.30 pm until 9 which was scrummy.This is a photo of the sunset taking from the hotel. A beautiful spot. The only thing that would put me off going again was the breakfast was very poor quality and normally I would enjoy this part of a stay but that really put me off. There was an awful smell coming from the lift also. So I don't think we will be going there again any time soon unless we hear that standards have been raised.

Had some friends around for dinner the other night which included Daisy's boyfriend Fred. As you can see from the photos they enjoyed each other's company, although it took about 4 hours to take this photo. Needless to say the two of them slept it off the following day also.
