It doesn't seem like it, but in a few weeks time it will be 10 years since we welcomed our first ever guests. I can well remember two very nervous hosts showing in our first visitors Mr and Mrs Clews and their friends Mr and Mrs Fox, who brought 2 horses with them.

David secured the starring role, whilst I was cast with a non speaking bit part in the distance - hey hoe!
