The flat is on a quiet tree lined street of well kept homes. It is only a few minutes walk to the underground or shopping On my arrival, Sheelagh greeted me like a long lost friend and took great care to show me all around and answer any questions I had. The welcome package of milk, juice, and biscuits, cookies to us Americans, was appreciated. It was several days before I met Sandy and he was equally warm and friendly. I enjoyed talking to him about his work. They brought clean linen and offered tomatoes from the garden and otherwise I was given total privacy. I greatly enjoyed my two week stay which made a once in a lifetime vacation much more memorable and pleasant.
