Valerie and Raymond were most gracious hosts. They were patient and attentive to our needs and requests. She gave us fresh baked plum cake when we arrived. Valerie dug out a scale so we could verify that our luggage was within airline limits. When we took a stroll into Tinryland she gave me a reflective vest, which was most welcome, given that we had to share the narrow lanes with cars. She also provided a sumptuous cooked breakfast. Their dog Jess was the first to greet us and was a pleasant companion. We enjoyed talking with Valerie and Raymond and wish we had spent more time with them.
