This pretty, old, building was were we stayed at Primrose House, and it was more than comfortable. In London, all I wanted to do was be out and about. Here, in Cotgrave, it was nice to have a bit of luxury in our accommodations after a hard day of hedgerow crawling.

This is the view, from the top of a staircase, of our kitchenette at the Primrose House.

And here is another view of the kitchenette.

This is our lovely bedroom. Behind the closed door was an ample closet that I eagerly expanded into. If only for a couple days, I do still like to spread my stuff out a bit.

The bathroom was big, and the shower was a delight — with loads of pressure and seemingly inexhaustible hot water.

As well a B&B operator, Paul was an arborist — hence the collectible saws. Paul was also a handler of an impeccably well trained, and very lovable, hunting dog named Chip. During our stay, Paul and Chip worked a hunt for rich dudes who come to the country for pheasants.

As an arborist, Paul had constant access to wood, which he stored beautifully in a brick-walled structure with a tile roof. Since I grew up around fireplaces, I've long had a love for good wood piles — this one is a doozy.

Paul's attention to detail was magnificent. At the far end of his wood pile, he created a gate, disguised as more fire wood, which blocked the view of unsightly trash and recycling bins.
