I stayed with Sara for the last few days. she lives in a village called Gretton, near Oakham, North Hants. It's a lovely 16th century cottage. It used to be the village workhouse- pre-industrial revolution. It's got great charm, as only an English cottage can. This is the main fireplace, all decorated for Christmas. Many of the floorboarrds are original and the wall are so thick; it'll never fall down.
