What a busy winter! David and I sailed the British Islands and completely redecorated the Victoria (photo left) in a soothing yellow with all new furniture. David was a happy repairman - getting the inn in tip-top shape for the season. I spent some time in the kitchen experimenting with some new recipes. The staff raved, but I sign their paychecks, so I am not sure how unbiased the opinions were.
With 14 fireplaces at the Inn, we spent a lot of time in comfy chairs reading near the warmth of a crackling fire. David stuck with mysteries, but I ventured out and was rewarded with a new favorite. "The Help" by K. Sackett is a deeply moving novel about African American maids working in white households during the early 60's. I just heard the film rights have been purchased. I can't wait.
