A poem written by one of our clients Bob Lowe:
Holiday Cottage – Nelson - February 2014
The grass slopes to the fountain.
The sun warms the verandah at breakfast and dinner.
In the kitchen garden, the tall corn stands rustling
While the goats clamber on each other
And we talk through the sunset.
Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);
