A bubble bath and glass of wine, followed by a quiet evening with one of my favourite tv programmes, this time of year The Bake Off

I wish I could enjoy a long soak in the bath but am afraid that the difficulty I have getting in and out cancels out the relaxation element. When things get too fraught due to DH's illness, I allow myself a ten minute break in the garden (or the back porch if rainy), with a cigarette and a cup of coffee. It was my chill option when I had a non sleeping baby - used to pop her in the cot or playpen, take my break and return, cool, calm and able to cope.

I like to read books on my kindle

A pampering soak in the bath x

pottering in the garden is the best way to relax for me. Enjoying the buds, bugs and birds!

Hot soapy bath glass of red good movie then fall asleep and go to dream world magic !

I love to sit by the ocean and listen to the waves. Unfortunately I live inland and mainly have to make do with the sounds of waves played by my phone. It still works for me though.

I draw or paint.

Watching a feel good movie with scented candles and glass of wine

A nice cup of strong tea

Sit comfortably & read a good book. Be transported into another world!

I love watching a good film on TV with a glass (or 3) of something bubbly and a few nibbles!

A bottle of wine, a film and a takeaway. My ideal night to unwind.

Playing the piano(badly) always relaxes me or making a few more birthday cards for a dog rescue that I support.

Hearing their excited voices

Just sitting in a sunny corner of my garden, away from the wind and the world.

Watching a movie with a glass of wine and nibbles.

A hot cup of tea ,a good book ,and relaxing candlelit sofa

Unusually I like to watch a few things on YouTube. An excellent way to relax is listening to stories or Solfeggio on my headphones. Eyes closed...aaahh....

Enter competitions and dream about winning

I sit down in a comfortable chair and work on my latest Sudoku while sipping a nice cup of tea.

I get lost in a good book or listen to some guided meditations.

To hear the whispered purring of breeze through the trees, with my eyes half closed.

Sunshine , sun lounger by a pool, lots of nice refreshing drinks and a fully charged kindle, bliss

a long hot bubble bath, comfy pj's & a good film
