I was given a very warm welcome by both Bob on my arrival and Christine when she returned home later in the evening. Bob offered me a cup of tea when I arrived (very welcome after the long bus ride from London!) and made sure I knew where everything was that I might need.
I was invited to have dinner with them and the other guests, which added to the friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The dinner was delicious too!
The room was lovely and quiet and comfortable. I slept very well - invaluable before my audition at the Royal Northern College of Music the next day. Getting to and from the city and the college by public transport was very easy and a lot quicker than I expected it would be, which made my morning a lot more relaxing!
Thank you Bob and Christine, I'm sorry I couldn't have stayed longer to get to know you both better!
