Hello to everyone. Just a quick note to say thanks to everyone for getting in touch. It's lovely to hear from you! We've been here nearly a week and we are at last over the jet lag and feeling good. It's hot hot hot here and totally lovely. It's a chilled out laid back place and we're so lucky experiencing this. The family using our time is having a great time in cool England.
