This is the beautiful garden at the house I stayed at in Coventry. I found a scheme called Homestay where you stay in a persons home in their spare room for a small fee. This was a particularly good first experience. Eyes still troubling so quick upload of two photos this evening, apologise to all for my lack of comments recently.
Deni, even though I have no immediate plans to travel to the UK, (Oh, heck, our passports expired in 2012 and we still haven't renewed them) when I read what you wrote, I went straight to Homestay.com to check it out. I've just realized I haven't done much commenting and haven't posted a photo yet and should be starting supper. I can dream, though...
