I light a scented candle and go through the photo albums of my children and grandchildren, including some of the scan pictures taken when the grandchildren were the size of a plum - and realise how lucky I am to have such wonderful people big and small in my life. It's very therapeutic.

a glass of red...or white... or rose...

moxeyns Sun 23-Sept-18 16:15:52

Wine or whisky, classical music on the sound system, read a book. A scented candle would be a nice addition...

Have a glass of Asti and run a lovely warm bath. Then have a read in bed or Watch a film in bed from the bedroom tv.

Craftycat Sun 23-Sept-18 16:31:44

A good book ( well Kindle actually) lying in the sun ideally - failing that a good book & a long soak in the bath with a glass or 2 of wine!

HelenST Sun 23-Sept-18 16:32:38

A good book, a strong coffee and a foot soak.

Sandrajoy Sun 23-Sept-18 16:32:40

A trip to the spa with my daughter when I can

mamguswansea Sun 23-Sept-18 16:35:27

I enjoy a walk outside to blow away any cobwebs. Then home for a cwtch up on my favourite chair with a good book and my journal.

I have trouble allowing myself to relax, but I have found something that helps: I set up my iPad on a table next to the bath and watch something relaxing while I soak. Current favourites are 'Who do you think you are?' and 'Escape to the country'. Long, cosy programmes, for long, cosy evenings in the bath!

Greciangirl Sun 23-Sept-18 16:42:24

I go to a yoga class or tai chi class.

Both very relaxing.
Or read the newspaper with feet up.

NannyC2 Sun 23-Sept-18 16:42:39

Love a hot, relaxing bath, nice music and doing some comps!

grannysmith953 Sun 23-Sept-18 16:43:11

Put my feet up with a good book and a glass of wine, bliss.

jeanblew Sun 23-Sept-18 16:46:26

A hot bath and a good film or drama on TV with my husband who is my rock

Shoom72 Sun 23-Sept-18 16:51:25

Quality time with the family playing board games!!!

swji1 Sun 23-Sept-18 16:54:44

A bath, a book, some bubbles and des petit bisous (from French grandchildren)!

jen53 Sun 23-Sept-18 16:57:05

After working hard at an exercise class (my current favourite is Kettlercise), I like to enjoy a hot shower. Once my hair is dried and I’m wearing comfortable clothes, I like to curl up by a log fire and read a gripping psychological thriller. A glass of wine at the weekend is a bonus, otherwise a mug of coffee is welcomed. Bliss.

Wetnosewheatie Sun 23-Sept-18 16:58:55

I either go for a walk or a cycle ride if the weather allows or I do my family tree. From being adopted and having no knowledge of my family with a bit of research I now have family all over the USA as well as the UK . Can be distracted for hours trying to make sure I have the right links.

BlueBelle Sun 23-Sept-18 17:00:33

I d love this for my daughter who doesn’t have the easiest of times

hereshoping Sun 23-Sept-18 17:01:33

Work on a really difficult Sudoku.

FionaC Sun 23-Sept-18 17:04:09

Lie on the sofa cuddling my dog whilst reading a good book.

rizlett Sun 23-Sept-18 17:06:15

A special scent is my secret to find inner calm and lavender and geranium together are my favourites.
