Sometimes I worry that unlike my courageous sister who is preparing her arduous climb of Kilimanjaro so energetically and whose actions constantly belie her age, I am getting to be rather like our grandma. Like her I enjoy sitting in gardens and afternoon tea, preferably the two combined, and neither of us will be remembered for our love of strenuous activity. However, unlike Grandma, who advocated at the most one bath a week, believing they remove our natural oils from the skin, I love having a bath, preferably with a good book and lots of bubbles. Even the introduction of water meters didn’t stop me, although I have cut back a little. The good news is that since Sheila pointed out to me that I needn’t sit with my back to the taps any more (see Sheila’s blog post, How Many Years at The Tap End) I now sit wherever I please.
When “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here” contestants leave the jungle the first thing they want to do is have a nice hot bath. I expect when our 3G Celebrities get down from the mountain they will savour every moment in the showers at the lodge; not as luxurious as bath time but a great deal better than twice daily “washy washy bowls”. Hats off to them all.
Note from Jae: Well done Leslie – I’m so impressed! How very brave the generation above me is. Did you see Ma (and Gerda and Jean) appeared in the Kentish Gazette this week?
