Forward to Time Past

The Easter eggs have all cracked and the hares been and gone, and finally I am back to my little corner of the tinternet to tell you about my holiday adventures! *puts on super-patronising voice* Iiiits story time children....

During the holidays my family and I went for a little (far too little for my liking, as I later discovered) getaway near the city of Bath, because we loved it there so much last time we visited (remember this wee little post?). We stayed in a manor house-turned-hotel in the middle of the Wiltshire countryside, with sunsets from my parents' balcony so stunning they left me speechless, a courtyard lit by fairytale lanterns and an outdoor heated swimming pool which was pure bliss at night. All you had to do was lie on your back, and there it was, the sky! Glimmering at you with myriads of minute eyes, each brighter than the last, the sort of beauty no photograph could ever capture but must be felt on the tip of the eyelids and every cell on your skin; detected, compressed, memorized, and stored away safely so it can be with you in an instant should you summon it on a cold winter's night. I could almost touch it....
Almost.
