We arrived tired and stressed. The house door was opened and we stepped in to a peaceful, sweet scented, aura of welcome and kindness. Gentle words, lovely smiles and calm conversation soon transformed our mood from worry to pleasant calm and rest. The house was quiet, beautifully appointed, and serene. Sleep was uninterrupted. Home made vegetarian pies were served for breakfast along with fruit, coffee, tea, breakfast breads, jam, butter, and muesli. At our request the lady of the house sat with us and we enjoyed enlightened conversation. We departed happy and rested having made new friends.
