Retreats

"Stop the World..."
It is without saying that we all voted, children as well, that your special hideaway was the most inviting and unique haven that made us whisper "Stop the world I want to get off." Clearly your gifted interior design abilities, coordinating all the memorable pieces from your parents world made it all the more exciting for us. As we are a musical family the treasures shared were so novel and cherished in our minds and in the photos that were taken by each of our families.

A Cut Out of Time
Every person in our family enjoyed the relaxation of this unique setting but each one discovered rooms or areas that appealed especially to them. The well-stocked playroom was a popular place and large enough to accommodate train tracks from home. Grandpa practiced saxophone and piano on the stage, was joined by the more musically inclined and drew an audience away from the pool table. Grandma enjoyed reading in the flower garden but was lured away by the children on the pirate ship and in the pool. Sitting on the deck in perfect silence in early mornings was a treat. We found several family activities and restaurants within a short driving distance but time did not allow us to do everything we had planned. Two true highlights were the visit to a sheep farm across the road and the demonstration of the collection of symphonians and antique music boxes. This demonstration was given by our charming and hospitable hostess, Jenny, who adds her own special touches to make each visit unforgettable.
