"Dear Brian and Pierrette,

I wanted to say a very big thank you for such a wonderful holiday - it was probably one of the most relaxed breaks I've ever had and I enjoyed every minute of it. Everything was just perfect and I really did not want to leave after just one week. I very much hope to come back again next year.

 

I'm now doing yoga on a much more regular basis (thanks to you!) and I have also signed up for a meditation course with my yoga teacher which starts next week. I've also encouraged some of my friends to come on some wonderful walks in the Peak District this summer (also thanks to you!) and am thinking of joining a walking group as well.

 

So, you've been a real inspiration/kick up the .... for me!

 

Take care and hope to see you again next summer

Best wishes (and a hug from me to Ruby!)

Julie"
