RSN Silk Shading: Arrival in Wick

This time we decided to stay outside of the greater Bristol area, in a small village called Wick. We'd found an apartment/gite on Air BnB that looked great and, when we arrived, we realised how lucky we'd been to book this place for both this visit and our visit at Easter.It's only a 10 - 15 minute drive to Lovestitch, Kelley Aldrige's studio, and there's a great local pub, open countryside, and warm, friendly people.And then there's the site. Rarely does one stay in a place that's fitted out to a standard as high or higher than one's own home, but this site is exactly that and not super expensive!The entire apartment is tiled in beautiful stone and some of the walls are of the original stone of the building. Below, you can see the hallway, with the door to the living/sitting room at the end, the bedroom in the middle and the bathroom immediately on the right. The photo is taken from the door leading from the kitchen into the hallway.The kitchen is first class- AEG appliances, including an induction stove top - and beautiful cabinets filled with everything you could ever need. Just outside the picture is a round table with four chairs for meals.On the table we found a bottle of local beer and cider, both brewed by Bath Ales, a small bag of delicious baked goods from Marshfield Bakery (which we visited later and can say it is wonderful!!) and a basket of eggs from the owners' chickens.  What a lovely welcome!Whenever I travel for an RSN course, I hope the place I've chosen to stay is both comfortable and provides enough space and light to do the inevitable stitching homework I'll have between days. This place is perfect and we can't wait to return at Easter!Next time, it's Welcome back to Lovestitch Bristol and the beginning of my steep learning curve that's silk shading!
