Thanks Dave! It's great to come home to a clean house. Our Labrador, Beau, was settled and well when we got home. Good to see that he had many walks, as well as your company. Especially during the storms! Glad that you enjoyed the area and the house. We were happy to have you stay.

David did our house sit with his cousin Sue and between them they kept the house and Gardens well maintained even with the challenge of very dry weather for the first month. We came home after our trip and were pleased there was not a lot to do around the place.
