Anne knows instinctively that it's not going to be the most harmonious of Christmases, this year. Donald's Great Aunt Esme, well into her eighties but with razor-sharp wits and a tongue to match, arrived half an hour ago, only to look each member of the family up and down appraisingly, and pronounce that Anne had 'put on a lot of weight'. By now firmly ensconced in Donald's favourite armchair, Esme's already on her second sherry but still in no better humour, grumbling bitterly about today's youth, the government, the price of eggs - and anything else that springs to mind.
She complains that the sherry is far too sweet, whilst proffering her glass for a refill. It seems that it's not only Esme who has reached that 'awkward' age. The children, too, at fourteen and twelve, can be hard work at times and are seriously miffed that they have been sworn to be on best behaviour... no fighting, no bad language and no monopolising the TV whilst Great Aunt Esme's here. How unfair is that? "You are SO out of order", James had wailed, when told of the house rules.
Now, after a massive Christmas dinner with all the trimmings - the turkey 'a little dry' and the sprouts 'not quite cooked enough' (according to Esme) - both boys sit on the floor in stony silence, bored and dejected, sighing frequently and glowering at Anne. Donald has poured himself a very large brandy, presumably in an attempt to dull the pain. Anne prays that he doesn't overdo it and end up regaling Great Aunt Esme with his repertoire of very ribald jokes - Esme is rather prudish and would not be at all impressed.
As she goes to tackle the washing up, leaving Donald and a slightly inebriated Esme putting the world to rights, Anne reassures herself that all will be well in a couple of days. The boys will be off to spend New Year on their Uncle's farm and, with their young cousins, will find plenty of exciting things to occupy them. Meanwhile, Donald has planned to whisk her away for a romantic break in a luxury hotel. It will be the first time that they've been away together, just the two of them, since before the children were born.
On arrival at the hotel, an atmospheric 16th century coaching inn with a delightful olde-world charm, they are greeted with a warm welcome from the friendly hotel staff, whilst a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, chocolates, a fruit basket and a bottle of the finest Moet et Chandon, chilling on ice, await them in their room. The en-suite room is superbly appointed, classically decorated and has the most decadent four poster bed, bedecked with crisp, white linen and a sumptuous quilt.
There are even scented oils and fluffy 'his and hers' shower robes and slippers in the bathroom. From their window, there are stunning views of the beautiful gardens. What bliss! This is the perfect holiday retreat. Having unpacked, Donald and Anne look in at the superbly equipped health club.
