Poor Rebecca was in hospital when we arrived, having had a serious back operation. But David gave us a very warm welcome despite our arrival time coinciding with a musical recording session he was having with some fellow musicians. The house is beautiful, the accommodation perfect - as was the location - very close to transport links, a great variety of good eateries and the LACMA (art museum). We spent 3 nights at the house and on the day of departure we met Rebecca, who had that same day been discharged from hospital. Considering the circumstances Rebecca was extremely friendly and talkative and we wish her a speedy recovery.
