Diane is the host from heaven - warm, welcoming, cheerful, full of practical support for my outings locally and very interesting to chat to. From the remarkably quiet and pretty street where she lives through to her immaculately decorated house and the tranquil ensuite bedroom where I stayed, piled high with pillows and lovely linens, it couldn't have felt more pampering. It was the oasis of calm I needed during a busy weekend.
The only thing I'd change would be the planes that start flying overhead at 6am. But then I do sleep with the window open, and this is west London.
Thank you, Diane! I'll be back
