Aw, thank you!

Cavendish and I decided to take full advantage of the fact that 7th of November was a Sunday this year. So we treated ourselves to a very relaxed and lazy day out. Extended Champagne breakfast (though the "Champagne" was actually just organic prosecco ;-) and in the afternoon a visit to a local spa followed by dinner at our favourite Thai restaurant.
