The barn conversion that Sue had found for us proved to be perfect with wonderful ensuite bedrooms and plenty of space for cooking, eating and relaxing.

Jane and I probably walked on most days often just stepping outside the front door and walking the local lanes and fields.

This was the end of a walk from Richmond alongside the river and visiting a ruined abbey and some wonderful countryside.
