You stayed at our Bed and Breakfast near to a town called Chagford and we got on well together.<br />You might remember compiling a @Guide to those Wacky Yanks' that you kindly sent to me, and that I was thrilled to have ...<br />We sold the house in 1996 after 12 years there rescuing the house from it's knees and handing her over in prime condition, in order to rebuild a derelict farm barn. We lived on site in a caravan during the work with our teenage daughters, a large dog and elderly cat and as soon as we could we moved in and picked up the B&B trade again. This barn we sold 2 years ago and we are now living in happy retirement in Exeter in a modest town house for 6 months of each year and spending 6 months of the year Easter to November off on a rather smart narrowboat we commissioned with our savings.<br />After we left St. Johns West, I mislaid your guide, and after moving from the barn all our belongings were packed into boxes as this house is much smaller that our other homes. As you can imagine, I am only now getting around to unpacking some of the boxes, and yesterday to my absolute joy, I came across your guide carefully wrapped within old photos, school reports etc.<br />I have read it through once again and have marvelled at your keen eye and wit. The illustrations are such fun.<br />This time I will take much better care of it.<br />I am glad to see from this blog that you are still active <br />I shall copy this onto the email address I have at the foot of your kind letter<br />My very best wishes come with this message.
