Response from the owner As Dave and Claire said themselves...a bit OTT! When clients are hurt by bad news from elsewhere...it is a given to respond...to try to comfort...to listen-sometimes one finds that the client moves to be a friend...as was /is the case here...I notice its always easy to be warm and welcoming when you are blessed with guests exhibiting the same response.Dave and Claire were a joy to host...and are a gift to count as [new] friends...such is the added blessing of hosting...you have the world as your potential friend. DD was particularly touched by their comments...too many overlook the quiet,caring contributions of others to their holiday experience. Thanks again, H xx
