We had enjoyed opening the door to the porch to discover what our landlady had left, so you can imagine my surprise when on Day 4 there was no pie! I called to the others to come and see, we all looked up and down the porch, nope…Nada! Then low and behold, looked over and… Read More No Pie

Day 3 and we are settled in and delighted to find a large homemade pumpkin pie on the doorstep, next to it we noticed a piece of paper with the word ‘Welcome’ from SANDI. Southern hospitality at its best. Later that day we sat on the porch eating our pumpkin pie when we noticed ‘the… Read More Pumpkin Pie

After a few days and nights we had ventured out and about and it became very apparent that we were staying in ‘downtown’, but what our Hut lacked in kerb appeal made up in the size of the plot. It was a shame about the rusting old cars strewn about, along with what resembled an… Read More Unfriendly Neighbours

After another day out and about I headed off to bed slightly nervous and within five minutes it started. I listened carefully….a rumble followed by a crashing sound. I slowly opened the bedroom door and peered out, there was a table light still on which shone a shadowy light into the kitchen, and the noise… Read More Fright In The Night

After getting food supplies, our new outfits (we also purchased a few straw hats) we went back to our Hut. Later that day Son 2 and his fiancé called round to see how we were getting on. The kindly turned on our ice machine (we had one of those massive American fridge/freezers) and showed us… Read More Noises In The Night

Thankfully we awoke the next morning and hadn’t been broken into and had survived the night. We decided to venture outdoors to see what it looked like in the daylight. Yep, it was a Hut, a wooden hut, we had neighbours either side and they too lived in wooden huts! Apart from the track that… Read More The Hut

Well after some food and drinks at The Mansion, Son 1, his fiancé, daughter and I reluctantly get in the car and head ‘home’! We drive the the upmarket area full of mansions and past a golf course and lake that was lit with pretty lights. We then locked the car doors as we headed… Read More Driving To The Hood

After we dropped off our suitcases at our ‘accommodation’ we got back in the car, locked the doors and headed off! Everyone was silent, I think it was the shock. We drove in silence for twenty minutes and until Son 2 pointed out the house where Son 4 and his friends were staying…… It was… Read More The Mansion’s In The Woodland

So after I appeared from behind the pillar (I had stayed there for 15 mins), we headed off to find our accommodation. Son Number 2 was acting as navigator said we would go to our place first and drop off our bags and then head to where he was staying and where Son number 4… Read More Arrival In The Woodlands

So 10 miles out I arrive at the car rental and after 15 mins the paperwork is sorted. I stand waiting for the keys and turn round to see son number 1 and 2 frantically running around the concourse (I guess they must of taken the shuttle to come and find me. I go to… Read More Car Rental
