Lily met us at her lovely apartment. We were surprised that she was actually handing over her home to us. It was a privilege to spend time in her home and to enjoy living as a local for a few days. Even the neighbours said hello and the neighbourhood was very friendly. Lily offered us her home made preserves and left lots of stuff in the kitchen that we were welcome to use. It was too wet to appreciate the lovely garden, but we were very comfortable inside after walking around Bordeaux and coming home to such a lovely environment.
