It was very good to meet Irene and stay in her house which is literally opposite my daughter's halls so uniquely convenient for me!
The little garden is lovely and I can imagine in summer a god-send in the city. The location is a 25 minute walk from Princes St which i enjoyed daily, and there is a great bakery/cafe next to the house for breakfast, other places for dinner too, a great wee cinema, Cameo!
also, Irene makes fabulous bags so what could I do?!
