Win a Sanctuary Spa Pamper Hamper worth £100 *NOW CLOSED*

To relax, I read a few chapters of a good book. If I’m tense and need to unwind, I come online and browse through Gransnet or play a game of Patience. I find both of these actions distract me from my current thoughts and release tension.

After a day hiking in the lake district, which I'm lucky enough to call home. Nothing beats coming home, running a bath, putting on something that will ease those aching muscles, and having a long soak listening to music. Then getting out of the bath to have a meal that has gently been cooking in the slow cooker all day coupled with a glass of wine and a catch up of our favourite tv programmes. Then turning into bed that has had the electric blanket on so it's all warm and cosy. Bliss.

A good book if indoors or a walk along the coastal footpath if outside!

A nice glass of wine and watch a film.

relax - close my eyes and imagine I am in the sunshine

Play my electric guitar and sing along!!

A lovely long soak in the bath, candles flickering, glass of wine in hand and a good book. Bliss! ???

Send the OH on a fools errand for a few hours peace.
Have a long soak, make myself something I like to eat on a tray, with a pot of tea and get a box set Dvds out. Take the phone off the hook.
By the time I'm stuffed and got to the end of the Dvds, I'm chilled and ready to face another barrage of questions including I couldn't get what you sent me for from the returning OH!! Well a girl can dream?

A nice bubble bath, face mask and peace and quiet.

A stroll near the sea .if I can't go to coast a walk in a quiet area .

Spending a couple of days, just me and my dog, being able to do what I want instead of thinking about others, eat what I l like instead of cooking for some else's taste. a long walk then home to have a good hot shower, pj's on and feet up

Gin&Tonic and a really good Drama catch up.

After sending the old man down the pub for a pint, I make a cup of tea and curl up with the latest book I'm reading.

A lovely warm shower, drink, some chocolate to eat and a good book to read ☺

A good book and a gin and tonic by my side.

I log on to Gransnet and quite often think "well, at least I haven't got that problem"

A relaxing bath, using Sanctuary products of course, get into my pyjamas and my cosy dressing gown and relax with a good book.

glass of wine, chocolate a good film and crochet dressed in pj's

Knitting a super cosy shawl with some luxury yarn - and some yummy chocs by my side!

Sewing whilst listening to some gentle music.

I have two very different ways to relax: either I get my yoga mat out and spend 30 minutes thinking of nothing but my breathing and my poses. It always clears my mind and gives me 'space'. Or I head to my allotment and spend a satisfying hour pottering/ weeding/ listening to the birds etc.

Reading a good book with a glass of wine,in a relaxing bubble bath with music playing in the background.

Nice meal, glass of wine and my favourite book with my lovely cat curled up next to me.

Long walk with my dog, home for bath and tea. ... Curl up with book! My own little Sanctuary.
