So you want a swimming pool. I know I do but thats because my body is getting flabbier as I get older and I want a pool for 2 reasons. I hope by exercising in a swimming pool it will tone my muscles, help me loose some of my flab and make me fitter and the other reason is I dont want to scare people when I use a shared pool. When Im in a public swimming pool people think theres a whale loose in it when its only me. Oh dear, I think I need to diet as well.
I spent last summer vacationing in Europe. I started in London it rained, travelled through France and stayed in an old converted remote farmhouse with its own pool and then travelled down through Spain to the Costa del Sol where I then spent 3 weeks in a villa high in the Andalusian mountains with stunning sea and mountain views and of course its own swimming pool. Both pools were unique and were self-builds. The swimming pool in Spain had been built by the villa owner, a great guy called John, who was an ex pat builder from London. The swimming pool he had built was 25 ft by 32 ft. It wasnt square, the floor wasnt level, the tiling wasnt level, the slope of the floor wasnt even, and you know, it was the best...
