We packed up the car and headed off to visit my brother and his wife this week. They live in the most beautiful spot in the country, and it is always a delight to spend time with them in this fabulous haven.
Let me take you on a little tour. Below we have the scene that greets us at the end of the winding driveway into the property. Pretty huh?

Just to the left of that parking area is this little nook to enjoy morning shade and cool breezes.
