Happy guests and more lilies

We are finally filling up with happy holiday makers. These guys have come down for a couple of nights to have a trip on the West Somerset Railway.

We see so many people here, coming away to have a rest and to enjoy each other's company. It is such a privilege to be a small part of people's holidays. We are always really gratified when people come back again.

We have just said goodbye to a couple from Florida, who have been staying for their third time. They brought their daughters with them this time, to show them London for four days, and the come down here for eight days. They told us they always feel as if they are coming home when they come here. I thought that was a lovely thing to say.

We are heading into the busiest weekend of this year so far, so please excuse me if I do not make many comments over the next few days
