So many fabulous times!

Hello again... It feels like I haven't blogged in ages.... So much has happened since Jan and I went through the 'parents meeting the parents' moment back in March! Since then we have been to beautiful Turnberry again... and this time we stayed a couple of days - well worth it!

The place is magnificent and you don't have to like golf to enjoy your stay there... Jan and I made good use of the spa - I had a fantastic massage and as a punishment, my legs waxed!

We also went Quad Biking at Turnberry's Outdoor Activity Center
- there is loads to do but the quad biking was so easy to pick up and talk about adrenalin rush - I didn't realise I had a competitive streak until I found myself racing against Jan - not an easy target, but good fun all the same!

We were taught how to use the bikes by the guy in this photo - he was brilliant - he showed us the controls first and took us for a gentle spin round the course first - which was good as some of those water dips were quite frankly 'bloody' scary first time round! But by the 2nd and 3rd go there was no stopping either of us and having to negotiate some of the tightest hairpin bends through the pine tree course was fantastic! I loved it!!


And of course Turnberry was just as beautiful and majestic as always - every stay just keeps getting better - I have no idea what they are going to do to top our last visit! The rooms are all beautiful and as for the beds.... they truly are heavenly! If you can't sleep well in one of these beds you need to see a doctor as there really must be something wrong with you...!

We hope to go back soon, if not for Jan's birthday I'll find a reason..!

I'll be back soon with more of what I've been upto!
