We had a nice peaceful relaxing week. The cottage was beautiful and well equipped. Our host Col was lovely and interesting to talk to. We took our dogs, they enjoyed the freedom within the cottage boundaries , although there wasn't much opportunity to walk further as its all minor roads, not real busy but couldnt let dogs run free. We went end of November, weather was quite good really although not summer but still warm. Id reckon it would be lovely here in summer. A bottle of wine on the decking in the sunshine. P.s The bookcase is packed with quality reading books, I got through 2, so if it does rain, you have plenty to read. Brian and Janie.
