A Loooong Road


When B&B guests insist on helping with the washing up,
there is a good chance that a great friendship is on the horizon!

John and Anne have stayed with us several times over the past year. They have been coming here to check the building progress on their holiday house, La Maison Rouge, also affectionately known as The House That Jack Built. Problems with the build? Um, yeah, just a few...hundred challenges! As John says, ''It's been a loooong road''.




And expensive. Building errors cost A LOT. During their last stay in February, we all decided to pool our pennies and play the U.K. lottery. Tony was able to scrape some British pounds together and, as you can see, John was eager to take it! So far we have won a whopping 10 pounds. We just need to add a few more zeros onto that...


It was indeed a very happy day yesterday when John and Anne arrived in a van filled with, I quote, ''40 tons of all sorts of nonsense''.


We unloaded the van quickly




furniture was assembled



kitchen set up




and time to relax!

All the best to our great friends Anne and John
as they settle into their holiday home this weekend
and, finally, enjoy the destination of that loooong road.

All this is true. The one thing it doesn't say is that without Pam and Tony's help this wouldn't have had a happy ending.
Thanks so much for that and for running the best b&b ever. We look forward to lots of happy times with you in the future.
John and Anne
