Yes, we went to the baths in Georgia, me and my mum, and this woman comes in.
So you go into these sulfur baths and they're on one certain street in Tbilisi and they're ancient and you go in and you can rent rooms or you can share rooms.
So we rented a room to ourselves and you walk in and it's full of like tiles.
It's magnificent.
And there is like a really warm bath, a cold bath, a sauna and these like marble, um,
Benches and you can opt in to get this scrub.
I can't remember what it's called, but this lady came in and she was definitely in her like 70s and she scrubs your body and then literally throws buckets of water over you.
oh my god I'd go back to Tbilisi just for that but you're you're basically in your knickers and topless and she was scrubbing me and yeah like making full eye contact and there's like a mat it's not like she's scrubbing there's loads of bubbles right there's yeah it's like really bubbly yeah so like you're covered it's like a cartoon actually you're just covered in bubbles and there's this
And you feel like a child, you know, because when is the last time you've been washed?
Like, obviously, it's a privilege not to be washed as an adult by somebody else.
But, you know, you do feel like a child in that moment.
So, yeah, I just felt like Tbilisi was a really kind of feminine place to be.
And I think that's kind of a nice thing to think about when you visit somewhere new.
Like, what is the energy in this town and how does it make me feel?
And so, listen, we've spoken about the surrogacy journey, you know, in depth before and how much it meant to us and how special it was.
But one thing we never spoke about and Amy, you know, spoke so beautifully about how her second baby, Bobby, was born when they were still in Dublin a month early.
And all of the kind of emotions that came with that.
And I, I really admired her, how she responded to that situation, like with peace and acceptance and, you know, not making that situation about herself, which I think is a very Amy thing.
Like she is, she's an amazing ambassador for the surrogacy community because I think she understands all sides very deeply.
