Our next accommodation..

is a farm cottage built for comfort and pleasure. If we had fishing rods, there are fish in the nearby stream and further, a tributary river. However, not our reason for being here. John's elder sister, aged 95 is now in a hospital care centre here having broken both hips and not handling reality too well.
Thankful for: Being able to travel and having good health.

Good luck with the visit - must be very hard for John's sister. My today's post is for your John too! :-)

[Dianne]

A cute place to stay. I do hope John’s sister is being well cared for.

[Joan Robillard]

Looks like a nice place but so sorry for why you are there.

[Sharon Lee]

I hope she recovers

[Wylie]

It looks quaint. I hope all turns out OK.

[Diana]

It looks so different to your normal posts of accomodation. Hope all goes well.

[Dione Giorgio]

Too bad for John's sister at her age. I hope she will cope with all the attention and care she will be given. But its hard to find yourself helpless. Lovely small hut to stay in for a couple of days.

[Valerie Chesney]

So sad for John's sister...so hard not to be able to care for yourself. So great you could both visit....Love those flowers in the forefront.

[Lou Ann]

I’m sorry for John’s sister. I am so glad you can go to see about her, you are right, that is a real blessing.

I’m sorry to hear about the reason for your visit but I have salute and love this photo. The low POV is so refreshing and makes it a FAV

[gloria jones]

Oh dear...So sorry for John's sister....Nice capture and textures...Take care.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Looks a nice place to be visiting, but not for your reason. Best wishes for the lady in hospital. FAV for the capture.

[Linda Godwin]

Looks like a peaceful quaint place to stay.

So sorry to hear about Johns sister…..so sad to have those problems at such a good age….she must be confused & in pain. I’m sure you will see that she’s cared for well. Lovely little home stay place…..is that what you call them or is that a B&B?

[Christina]

Nice that you are there for John's sister - not easy...

[Maggiemae]

@dide thank you Dianne - they seem to care so much in these Care homes - the staff are wonderful!

[Maggiemae]

@sugarmuser She's got through 2 operations so far, Sharon but I can't see much hope for recovery!

[Maggiemae]

@sangwann Thanks Dione - she's got all the comfort and attention that is possible.

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn I had to kneel down on gravel for this photo, Katy! Got indentations in my knee!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat It would be classed as a 'farm cottage' Pat. All the luxuries and comfort! Rural scenes abound!

[Kate]

Nice relaxing cottage amidst the stress of dealing with the medical situation

[katy]

@maggiemae I wondered if you’ve bent over or kneeled down

[Maggiemae]

@ludwigsdiana the normal hotel we stay at here, Diana was totally full with a wedding! So we used AirbnB.

[Maggiemae]

@happysnaps In some ways, Valerie - its fine as she still thinks she is in the little villa that she had and looked after herself.

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn You can see the gravel in the foreground, Katy - it hurt!

[haskar]

So sorry for John's sister. Nice place to stay.

[Sharon Lee]

@maggiemae then I hope she goes peacefully and quickly

[Maggiemae]

@sugarmuser She's not on the brink of death at all, though. Her dementia leaves her relaxed and happy!

[katy]

@maggiemae I think I would have just bent over. That gravel does look like it hurts

[Islandgirl]

Nice accommodations!

[Yao RL]

love this sort of accommodation in south, the photos show that you are having a lovely weather in your trip.
