From our base camp in Hurley we set out for dog minding duties in Hastings. A midweek airbnb cottage near Hay-on-Wye on the Welsh border. Visit to friends in Norfolk and then another cottage in Cornwall for a week of amazing September sunshine. Throw in a few National Trust visits and here you have our 2019 Photo Review of the Year.
