Enjoying The Nearby Pleasures Of Cheltenham

Darrell and Nigel are currently enjoying the pleasures of nearby Cheltenham, catching up on one of their favourite comedians Ross Noble, who they were due to see before the dreaded Covid hit and then missed out again on his following tour because none of the dates or venue's fit in with our plans, so, it's been an adventure that's been a long time in the making .......

..... which is why they decided to make an real occassion of it by staying in a "posh" Cheltenham hotel.

All boded well, their payment was taken and they were checked in online before they had even left The Towers ...... but, when they finally arrived, they were told that there had been a terrible mix up (on the hotels side) and instead of Darrell and Nigel's requested and "non-negotiable" twin room, they'd instead been allocated a double, needless to say there were profuse apologies all round, however ...... would Darrell and Nigel accept two separate rooms, close together, with no further charge to themselves, there was only one problem, one of the rooms was rather large!  Well, after such a kind offer, it would have been rude to quibble, wouldn't it? After all, how large can a rather large room be? 

So, with that said, offer accepted, sight unseen Darrell and Nigel, picked a key each from the two they were handed. Nigel's pick, Room No. 22, was generous, more than ample for either of them.

However, moving on and drawing gasps as they opened the door to Room No. 21  Darrell's pick could only be described as absolutely MAHOOOOOOOSIVE, almost palatial in it's proportions! Darrell, they reasoned, must be in the Presidential Suite, our first ever, ever, real life upgrade!

It's not often that Nigel is at a loss for words, but this time he was very nearly silenced! 

It was emotional, very emotional, with Darrell offering, on seeing Nigel's reaction, to swap rooms, seeing as he'd only got it via a very fortuitous but totally unconscious  choice........

...... but Nigel said no, he was perfectly happy with his, by these standards, tres bijoux room, slightly fearful that he'd be lost and unfound in the gigantic, super king size bed!

He knew that Darrell would actually know how to use the Nespresso machine without having to call down to reception asking for someone to come up for a demonstration ........

...... and would also truly appreciate all the ample and varied, wonderfully fragrant products in the humungous bathroom.

And, talking about bathrooms, Darrell only had two sinks, which Nigel suggested that one was probably for washing his face and the other for his hands!

There was a shower big enough to wash a full size hippo in! It was so big, it didn't even need a door, as the water just wouldn't be able to reach the end, no matter how you angled the shower head, plus there was even more lovely sudsy products ........

.... and enough fluffy towels to dry all your bits individually!

Darrell, in turn, was quite enamoured with the designer bucket between the two sinks, in such salubrious surroundings it looked chic and tres de rigueur, but back at The Towers, he knew it would simply look like a bucket, used because the pedal on your bathroom pedal bin was broken!

It was all quite overwhelming, even for Darrell, but he was determined to embrace this unexpected pleasure for all it was worth but suggested that Nigel might like to share it with him, during their waking hours, as it was soooooo big, it was sort of lonely on his own!  What are they both like?
