Our journey through COVID at The Allanton Inn
Celebrating our 10th anniversary at The Allanton Inn on Sunday 8th March 2019, speculation and disbelief of a global fast-spreading virus was already circulating. William suspected things might get bad here too, but I was more complacent. Of course, no one ever could...

Spring/Summer newsletter 2017
William, the boys and I have enjoyed a couple of long weekend breaks over the autumn/winter. One attending a wedding in Northern Ireland and one in Amsterdam, catching up with friends. Christmas is always a bit mad and not a break but lovely to spend a day with each...
