Sometimes in life you happen upon the most wonderful people, just by accident, who then become firm friends. These wonderful people were the first guests in our new bed and breakfast, and then subsequent neighbours (nearby village) when we lived in the south of France. Always engaging, generous, kind, and, supportive of my writing, reading endless manuscripts and finished books with enthusiasm and helpful criticism.
We saw them often 'down south' then less when we moved further north to the Loire Valley; but they call by when heading Southwards. A few months ago on my yearly UK trip I made the journey up to the Lake District to visit them in their house near Cockermouth. What a region! - I'd forgotten the sheer magnificence of the mountains and lakes, but more importantly, it was wonderful to visit my friends and explore their region with them.
Malcolm and Helen, you are rare folks. Sending love to you Both, Kate.
