I count myself very fortunate in finding Rosena’s home when I was looking for somewhere to stay for an extended period in the autumn of 2020. It’s in an ideal location for peace and quiet while not far from good transport links and shopping. The bedroom and bathroom are large and easily accommodated me working from home when this became necessary. But it is the qualities of the host and her family that made staying here so special. In the end we shared nearly seven months of our lives together through two lockdowns, Christmas, having Covid and being vaccinated. Throughout this time Rosena and her husband were unfailingly kind, generous and patient in facing the challenges of weathering a pandemic with a houseguest in tow. I couldn’t have found a better place to spend this strange time or better company to spend it with.
