I lived in the UK for almost 18 years having gone there for a one year assignment and staying. I still think of it as a second home. I’ve known Guy for 30plus years and his beautiful and amazingly hospitable wife for as long as they’ve been together Which must be half that. Guy ended up in Wallingford because he used to like the area so much when he would come visit. They have the most comfy home imaginable. Surrounded by lush gardens overseen by Louise and honey bee hives maintained by Guy it is the most comfortable place to stay in my world..which is sort of bad news for them because I keep coming back!

While there I tried to meet up with old friends but our time was too short but we did manage to have old friend Dave…sorry David Macqueen join all of us for a great take away curry …one of my favorite meals, Why is it we Americans shorten names of people even when they hate it lol. Yes David does look like Father Christmas
