Would you like to see our Spa? Course you would!

And here it is - a rather large box that just fits onto the top of the drive.



It looks bigger than it did in the shop, but that always happens with settees and dining tables so nothing new there. It has a soft padded cover to keep the heat in when we're not using it but is light enough for me to remove on my own.


There are several seating areas all with different jets and they can be turned on and off or low to high. There is also an underwater light for atmosphere if we are using it at night and it's all at a lovely 35.5c and unlike a bath, the water never goes cold so you don't have to keep topping it up with hot water while you are in. It's supposed to be a 6 seater but I think any more than 4 and you would all have to be very good friends!

And so, bubbles on.....

Well, now it's all ready we may as well enjoy it.

Technical bit now for those interested: we have the Burlington Spa from the 680 series from Sundance Spa's in Mojacar. It's 78" square and 36" high with 2 steps to get into it. It has 25 jets and temperature can go from 16c to 40c so you can set it to be as cool or as warm as you want. It took about 2 hours to fill with water and 24 hours to reach temperature. It drops about 1 degree while being used as the heater doesn't work when the jets are turned on.

Infact, it all sounds so good - I'm going to go and make a cup of coffee, grab my book and jump into it right now!

And tomorrow I'm going to introduce you to a vegetable we'd never heard of, let alone eaten - it's black, it's hairy and it grows underground - and, apparently, it's popular in Belgium!
