Wow just got this email and it has blown me away 🙂 i don’t normally offer 1 night stays but Nimesh called and although he wanted 2 nights I could only offer 1 so he came with his parents and they were so lovely and will be back. So the lesson here is be flexible and accommodating when it feels right 👍
Hi Gigi,
Hope you are doing well. We're back in the Big Smoke.
Thank you for letting us stay the night at such short notice.
Staying with you was not just "staying at guest house, B&B or a hotel" - it was a deeply moving experience. I could only describe staying with you as pure joy - we felt we were not staying at a stranger's house, but with a friend. The love, care, joy, warmth that you and Neil infused into Orchard Side is palpable - and the Herculean effort and labour that you both put into it was also strongly felt - we all felt it.
We shall return to Orchard Side, to the Malvern Hills, to Worcestershire.
Best Regards
PS: Lots of cuddles to dear little Barnaby!
