Bubbles & SQUEAK!

One of the great joys in life is a long, hot bath. I’ve always loved them. Preferably deep and long, so I can stretch out, and nicely enhanced with soothing bath salts and scented candles to add to the fragrant ambience.

I don’t want music while I bathe. In fact, I prefer complete silence and woe betide anyone who disturbs my peace.

One of my favourite children’s books – one. All Mrs Large, the mother elephant, wants is five minutes’ peace while she relaxes in the bath, but one by one, all her little baby elephants join her in the bathroom and in the end, they end up in the bath while she slips downstairs to have a cup of tea and three minutes and 45 seconds exactly of peace before they all troop back down again.
