Marian (Writer) & Mark (Architect) have been married for 30 years. We believe that it is essential to live in beautiful places - that's why we live where we do. We tread lightly and laugh a lot.

We have cats - they are quite friendly and fun. If you you would prefer they not be in the house during your stay, we can arrange for them to be boarded. But would rather they stayed if possible. Cookie and Minnie are our cats.
