On Saturday John and Jill Smyth bravely opened their delightful home and garden to the Americans and the Myerscough Landscape Staff (about 30 people in all).

John and Jill had put in a tremendous amount of work before we got there and they went on working hard to entertain us while we lounged around.

It was very pleasant to be in a home situation after living in dorms for three weeks. By the end of the evening all of the US group could still stand and we went home happy to our little rooms on campus.
