My time there was very relaxing and smooth. I felt very welcomed and appreciated. If you are looking for an experience with fellow travellers this isn't it, but if you are wanting to be in the English countryside and are comfortable being alone then it is a very nice time. I spent a few hours a day sewing horse blankets, which was very manageable and left me with time to explore the surrounding town.

I had a great time with Marcha! We did a lot of things together (Carboot sale, drying old paint…etc.) and it was really fun! Marcha is an easy-going person, we shared a lot about our culture. The cats are very friendly I love cookie, Tiggy, Enzo and Daisy :) Hope to meet her next time 🙌
