I always hope to arrive before dark, but too many things in my daily life pull me in way too many directions...So the instructions were very clear when I arrived after dusk and WOW the first thing is an amazing certified wild life habitat with many many flowers and lots of water features, which I could here though some I couldn't observe until the daylight today..though I am SUPPOSED to be retired, I still work 24/7, so this lovely spot truly gave me some peace..I was hoping to wake up early for the yoga and meditations, but my mind was racing all night so I missed it... after I got up, I enjoyed the amazing flowers and though it was raining somewhat heavily, that didn't stop the hummingbirds and finches from dancing in front of me in the living room. I was SO pleased that Marie Grace and Peter allow their guests to enjoy their grounds, their common areas and bathroom if one cannot leave at checkout time...also if one needs to arrive early on the day of their booking, one can also enjoy the common areas....Marie Grace and her husband were super busy and they were upgrading a couple of the rooms though I had thought mine was perfect as it was....so they were bustling around and we didn't have time to chat at all... but I got LOTS of work done on the lovely table for 3 where I watched the birds and the squirrels run around.... I picked up one of the brochures they left next to the guest book about some weeklong seminars they offer, perhaps some day my new man and I will come back for a visit, a stay, and some lovely relaxation here at their lovely place, or maybe we will invite Marie Grace and Peter to some of our places around the planet to give a seminar also... who knows...the place was amazing, and every little detail was thought through and provided for.. the location is also amazing... . it is a shame I arrived after dark then worked all day and left... but one of these days my life will settle more and I will return to enjoy the space, the hosts, and the atmosphere .. soon I hope as I am no longer a spring chicken either...thank u again Marie Grace and Peter...
