Weavers’ House Spa Director Alex Hurt explores our brand new world
We find ourselves in a different world and a life away from where we were. A reality check and a second chance for all who are safe and well to make some serious decisions on how we live in our present and our future.
We have a gift. How will you use yours?
As we all look towards the festive season, we understand the need to experience it differently this year. Instead of reminiscing on years gone by, and what you can’t have, focus on what you can have instead.
It’s apparent that we are surrounded by repetitive negative news. Over the last year this has travelled so deep under our skin that it’s manifesting in an undercurrent of mental health issues. Subconscious thoughts, small talk and endless media noise knocking at our emotional door, leaves us spent.
Turn down the noise, switch off the news and put down your phone. We have no idea what will happen tomorrow, it’s today that is truly the gift. The magical season is approaching, and now more than ever we need to be kind to one another. It’s time to remember how we all pulled together in March, how we got back to our roots as life was dumbed down, and it got a whole lot simpler.
It’s the people in your life that matter. It’s the teacher that’s now your super hero, as home schooling was so HARD! It’s the medical teams that keep our families safe in the pandemic. It’s the mothers and fathers that stay strong and always know what to say, even in the most impossible situations. It’s the friends that are always there for you no matter what.
Gratitude is most certainly the attitude to adopt. Appreciate where you are. It’s hard work but it’s worth it. Count your stars, as you count on them.
If you would like to share the gift of relaxation and schedule some spa time, a gift voucher could be the easiest yet most thoughtful present. *Purchase a 90-minute treatment as a gift, and we will give you a 30-minute upgrade on your next appointment with us. Or browse our boutique for some sumptuous skincare sets from Temple Spa, and give your loved ones some 'spa at home' time.
As Lavenham has become a buzz with shoppers from far and wide investing back into our high streets again, the village has re-connected with the community. In uncertain times, one-to-one personal service becomes paramount and old values reappear. Life is indeed simpler, and we are all the better for it.
From November, Lavenham will stay open a little later on a Friday evening to ensure that you can find your unique gifts. Unrushed and crowd-free, take your time to select the perfect something for that special someone.
If you’ve not visited Lavenham at Christmastime it is truly magical. From the twinkly lights, traditional trees and window displays, it couldn’t be more of a fairy-tale experience. Bring your loved ones, hug a hot chocolate and make your way around our historic village.
Call us on 01787 246 246 or email weavers@theswanatlavenham.co.uk to schedule your spa time or purchase a gift voucher with free delivery.
