I'm having a bit of computer trouble this week so I have just a couple of snapshots today. This is Di's stunningly charming cottage. It is everything one might imagine of a cottage in the middle of beautiful nowhere.

I was particularly taken with her carpet which had grass bits coming out of it.  This woman is my doppelganger! While her husband was making me coffee I asked him if he thought it odd that his wife bought a carpet that had fake grass in it. Without missing a beat he met my gaze and replied, "No, that's just Di and it's the way she's always been." (or something to that effect - add the charming accent and the dashing professorial looks and I'm sure it was much more erudite than that.)
