Now I am in England, I have had time to reflect on what has happened over the last few weeks. It has not been easy to come back here and settle back in to the English routine. Perhaps Normandy has changed me and life will never be the same in England.
After the English and American guests left, we sat wondering whether they truly enjoyed there stay at Ivy House. A bit of paranoia rearing its ugly head again, but it was me and the wife wondering this time. It was almost like a blind date; you didn't know what to expect when they turned up and certainly were left wondering when they departed. To make the analogy: we wondered if they would call us for another date or whether they thought we were bunny boilers.
Having returned from work today, I was greeted by an email from TripAdvisor, the accommodation review site. This was it, did they want to see us again, or was it back to the lonely heart columns? Wow! I was so touched by the response from the Canadian gentlemen who came for one night with his young family and also from the English family. What they wrote was very touching and it has made a difficult day finish with a ray of sunshine. We say thanks to both of you for taking the time to share your experiences and we are grateful for your kind words. They mean a lot to us!
