We love the colour blue and have used it's wonderful colour palette to base our Spa Collection around

Blue is the colour of calm and serenity, and as such inspires security and a feeling of safety.

Escape to countryside village and towns with Hettie and draw positive emotions from our surroundings

Stunning architecture ,  wide boulevards , regency details and doors , and the famous honey or golden glow of the stone architecture have inspired our palette for the Hettie Spa collection. It  also reminds us of the spa buildings that provide space for relaxation and recuperation.

Cotwsold stone is famous for it's honey or golden glow , but did you know the colour of the stone varies depending where it was quarried ? Moving towards the centre of the Cotswold area the stone becomes more golden , and by the time you reach Bath in the south , it is a creamy-white colour with grey hues.

Does anyone else love afternoon tea ?

It ia a family favourite and a perfect way to while away some hours with a cuppa and a cake watching the world meander by. And we are spoilt for choice in the pretty little villages and towns nearby

At the moment we won't be able to go out and enjoy afternoon tea for a while , but here is a recipe to make the perfect scones at home . By Mary Berry for BBC Good Food
