We were sitting in the pub this evening talking about holidays and saying we fancied going back to the cottage in Cornwall. This is the woman that rents her home out during the school holidays.
So I text her to ask if she would be renting it out next year as we were interested.
She rang me immediately to say she wasn't intending in letting it as get daughter was getting married so she wanted to be around but she was happy to rent it to us if we were happy for her not to remove all her stuff as she trusted us to look after it.
What a compliment after just one stay at her cottage. I said if course we didn't mind and we wouldn't dream of touching things that didn't belong to us.
I've got to ring her next week to sort out a convenient date.
