We arrived at Jan's refuge in time to sit in the sunshine of her garden. It was so relaxing to escape the urban jungle, and after a few deep breaths while admiring the garden flowers, the welcome solitude made the stress evaporate. We also enjoyed perusing her many art books, and on retiring for the night, I luxuriated in my... More
