Bob Curran & Anne- Marie 2011 guests from Canada sent us best wishes for the New Year & included in their e-mail was this comment

When we looked back on
2011,we realized that a lot of good memories for the year came from out trip to
the UK and so much of that was a result of all your efforts to make us
welcome.  We have amazed people with our tales of the good food that we
enjoyed as a result of your knowledge of your area; many have had opposite
experiences with poor food and service in the UK but staying with you made our
trip fantastic in this and so many other ways.  Many thanks and we hope
your coming year is prosperous and relaxing.
