"Breakfast the next morning reaffirmed my preference for B&Bs. A lover of spartan continental breakfasts I am not."

Not the Grey Swan Inn, a bed-and-breakfast in Blackstone, Va., constructed as a family home in 1902 by a prominent tobacco seller. ...

thanks, innmates!! it was a good article.... the wasps in the room mortified me!! Had I been thinking I could have just sucked them up in the vacuum cleaner - I don't think well on my feet sometimes! the the note about the comforter - ouch!! Isn't it funny how our eyes go to the critiques? It was a fair and very real article! As soon as I found out she was a writer, we googled her (while she was eating breakfast) and then we found out she wrote for the Wash Post.... OMG - the pressure was on and she was about to leave!!! We took a chill pill and just carried on!

I didn't even see those things! I am back to reread, see most of us SKIM. I read the good bits, then the more info part with your website etc.

 

[JBloggs]

Ahh I just read it, and now I remember thinking that was really cool! See it didn't bother me as I read it, I liked it!

 

[greyswan]

I was being over-sensitive - thanks for your input!

I hope the article makes the phone ring! I'm not too happy with the tone, tho. A bit too flip and a lot of back-handed compliments that could go either way. (I am just reading the article now.)

waiting by the phone.........

waiting by the phone..........

We were in the Boston Globe a couple of months ago and I never heard a peep from that article.

 

[greyswan]

that's too bad, Morticia..... I'm still waiting for the phone to start ringing off the wall!
