It was pleasure hosting Claire and her family in our home and to help them enjoy their time in the US. :)
We are looking forward to hosting them again in future.
Thank you Claire for the fudge, that was really a nice touch from you. 🫠
This exchange was the first in my primary home, I was concern that they would not like it as much as we do. Claire left me a beautiful note along with English tea and fudge. I gave her a few drawers and as much space in our draws as possible. Leaving 2 draws empty in each room. I probably forgot a few things but having Claire and her family was wonderful. She cleaned everything up everything very nicely . We connect via "WhatsApp" so we were both on top of communication. I can't wait to go to her house, I am sure it will be as lovely as she is.

We can not Thank Rasha and Samy and the girls enough for the use of their home whilst we were staying in New Jersey. Rasha’s communication and helpful tips before and throughout our stay were amazing.
We had a lovely Thai in a the restaurant just around the corner from the house.
Wonderful hospitality Thankyou so much. Always a bed here for you in Devon should you ever be in the area. X
What can I say we were blown away by your home it is in a beautiful location and we loved the Hummingbirds, Deer in the garden and Fire flies in the evening.
It was so homely and we had so much space to relax when we were not out exploring.
Thankyou so much for your communication from start to finish we look forward to welcoming you to the uk when you are ready.
Thank you once again it made our time in New Jersey an absolute pleasure. X
