SHOWERS

I love a good shower. Whatever the season or temperature, it must be very hot and very strong. I hate those piddly things you have to hold above your head, where the water sort of dribbles out. The ultimate shower is one where the water drums on your scalp.

One of the best decisions I have ever made in my life was to buy a big showerhead back in 2002 for our new bathroom. It is about the size of my head. And with the hot water tank almost directly above me in the loft, the water just dumps on top of me. It is wonderful.

As you can guess from this blog, I have just had a - very hot and very strong - shower. And very nice it was too.
