Home is where the hearth is

Arrived.  And it is gorgeous.  After a few days of getting used to our surroundings (this is our cute little stone cottage with the green screen looking backdrop).  We wake up here every day and still can't believe it isn't a rollaway set.  The lodge got a facelift this year and while we have no idea what before was like, NOW looks just lovely. As we make our way around the place and the kitchen, it seems hard to find reasons why we might not like our new life.  Ok, the showerhead pressure in our house isn't grand (and for two of us, it's a little low) so there are adjustments to be made to live in paradise.  Week one we have some people to impress: two charming returning Australians and some special friends from home.  Here goes.
