When we drove into John's overgrown yard we were a bit worried. Was this the right place? But then we met John and were shown through the place with all its distinctive touches - pictures, furniture and other bits and pieces. The place has the amenities you expect, plus extra touches like home-dried mint tea from his herb garden and a properly separated rubbish and recycling system (yay!), and John himself is a fount of information (his family have been in the area for 100 years). This quirky place may not suit everyone, but what place would? Thanks, John.
