Spot the red dot for your dose of peace and tranquillity. Lorraine and Bernard from Melbourne did and have just left again, reluctantly, but not without leaving this entry in our guestbook:
"Dear Peter, Padma and all the furry friends, residents of Paradise!
As we sit here, being mesmerised by the fluttering leaves and rippling river, we reflect on how lucky we are to have shared this total experience of beauty, peacefulness, generosity and relaxation.
Padma and Peter, we thank you for all of this and all those extras like playing with the dogs, indulgent pancakes for breakfast, wantons for dinner, friendship, the braying donkey, and the experience of watching a movie in the pond house, enjoying the cacophony of birds and insects playing amongst the lily pads in the pond as background to the Oyster Farmer movie.
Noticed the Christmas flag this morning! Reminds me that I have some serious shopping to do before Christmas Day!
Merry, merry Christmas and thank you!
Lorraine and Bernard"
And a Merry Christmas to you, Lorraine and Bernard, and we hope to see you again next year!
