You have to come and see us





You have to come and see us ...and stay in this cabin. Which we won in a raffle, sort of. It's Hawkridge Retreat, up in the Blue Ridge Mountains above Lexington, Virginia - and we won a half price weekend in the gala for the 100th anniversary of Tom's school - way back last November. It is IDYLLIC. We drove for hours, out into the utter middle of nowhere, up a dirt track with deer scattering beside us and hawks circling overhead, and found this 1890s cabin , beautifully restored. And the first thing we said was, who ELSE can we bring here... for weekends, Thanksgiving, Christmas?? It was a lovely find and a totally utterly peaceful place to be. Plus we met the owners Philip and Ava, who have another log cabin on the next hillside along, and they were great. Within minutes of arriving, we wanted to book to go back.
