    Such profound wording, thought provoking too; Then, to be accompanied, yet again by beautiful photographs of the wonderful English countryside, I do enjoy visiting your site Cherie, it’s so interesting!
    Only eleven days to go and we will be visiting The Coach House at Crookham…..I’m so excited, For those who may not have read about Cherie’s visits there, her writings about the place inspired me so much, that I’ve booked a mini break there. If you look on the internet there is a lot of favourable critique about The Coach House, I shall write all about it Cherie, when we return.
    Incidentally, we are paying a visit to a special person on our way home, which I have just written about, Wonderful stuff this blogging hobby, one makes so many lovely friend through mutual interest and thoughts!
