Our host

The owner of the building was very gracious and invited us to tea and then lunch, although unfortunately we couldn't stay late. He isn't sure yet what the restored house will serve as, but he invited us back to see the finished product.

Fascinating image - spent a while taking it all in ! The bench is fabulous - it would be interesting to know what the lady in the art work is doing ?? Nicely balanced shot V

How strange, wherever you go, you find hospitality in this country. This place looks fantastic even before restoration and your host seems a mind free person. V
