Konichiwa,
After having a splendid time in Palmers Green, we are now on Manor Farm, in Inkpen. That may sound a touch mundane, but I assure you we would stay here a month if we could. We are staying with the Kary family, which consists of Mark & Jessica and their two daughters India & Lara. They are the best family ever! Hours upon hours are spent with these guys, whether we are playing table tennis, lacrosse, mucking around with the dogs or just chatting. The highlight obviously was when India, 14, decided to give our dearest Mathieu a lesson in table tennis (14-12 from memory).
On a serious note, we have both been attacked by the aggressive father goose, along with Dougal, who is a dog closer in size to a horse. Although no serious injuries have occurred, both goose and dog have vowed for revenge.
Manor Farm is a very beautiful place, and had I felt the need to propose to (for legal reasons I had to remove this name) I would have definitely choose here. There are rolling hills or green grass, a pond filled with ducks and geese, and also an amazing 3 and a half storey house. We have the top story to ourselves, with a bedroom each with a queen-size bed, and a bathroom of our own. Along with the huge house, there is another house with 2 separate tenants, 4 stables, a hall, 3 sheds, a barn, a swimming pool and a pond. There are an abundance of cattle (Aberdeen Angus), 4 horses, 2 lambs, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 geese with 5 goslings, 6 chickens, 10 ducks, 30 doves, and a peacock.
On Saturday we had a great pub lunch, but it was no better than the cooking of Jess & Mark, who have us feeling like we are in a 5 star restaurant.
Our liver’s also have been very thankful for the minimal consumption of alcohol after a hectic week. The same cannot be said for Luke’s hair, which has seen better days after a run in with the clippers, which it came out second best.
I would like to thank everyone for their support after the touchy subject of my romance with Emma. You have helped me through a bad time.
XOXO Luke, Mat & Jose (Still don’t know who he is but he claims to be the third member of our travel party. We met him after Luke woke up after a big night with Jose next to him in bed.)
