Fine, but why tell a receptionist you’ve had a fab stay and then grouse on TripAd? So bloody English, and I do mean English, not British.

I hate Barclaycard! Closed a/c in Jan cos of horrible service but just rec’d a May bill for a March transaction that’s not mine. Grrrrhhhh.

Just back from filming the first bit of next Country House Rescue series. 5 week break (working,tho) back in Suffolk. Sun shining, hurrah!

Just started serving Metfield Bakery’s spelt sourdough bread. SO good, if a bugger to cut. The crust is the antithesis of Cameron’s face.
