A converted stable!

After John's tankdriving experience, we spent the night with some people we know in Winchester. I met the husband at work - he has a contract with my current client - and we hit it off straight away. So we invited them to join us for a braai a few weeks back. Since they live in Winchester, when they heard about our forthcoming jaunt there, they immediately insisted that we spend the night with them. It's a long time since we've encountered that kind of hospitality, but the wife is from a small town Afrikaans family, and it comes as second nature to her.

They have a lovely home, part of which was a 16th century stable, and we spent a very pleasant evening with them.
