Helen is a warm, down-to-earth and welcoming person who has some great stories to tell and is a very accomodating and informative host. She was often off in her studio working on her beautiful pottery, but now and again she would pop in for a chin wag (she's got a fantastic sense of humour) and she really felt more like an old friend than a host; probably because she is so easy to get along with and relaxed.
Helen's home is humble, clean and cosy and the room was clean and the bed was very comfortable (what more can you ask for). She was happy to let me stay warm by the fire (it gets cold there this time of year) in the lounge room, and do some writing or watch some TV when I wasn't out seeing the sights; so she really made me feel right at home, which was lovely.
It was a pleasure to meet Helen and stay at her home, and I look forward to returning at some point in the future.
Wonderful host! Thank you Helen :)
