Here is where it all began. Ashwell is the Hertfordshire village that I was born in, and it truly felt like coming home to bring my family back here. We were very fortunate to have my cousin James and his family on sabbatical here at this time, so we met up with them every day, and they looked after us. We were also delighted to catch up with old family friends the Moynihans once more - Liz & Fergus, Sarah & Martin with Rufus, Alfie and Isabel, and Tim & Claire with Charlie & Rosanna. Warm summer evenings in the Moynihan’s lovely rural enclave, long walks in the Ashwell countryside, and lunches and evening meals with the Highams - this was possibly the most tranquil and relaxing time of our entire trip. I have always loved Ashwell, and I am delighted that the rest of my family now feels the same way. We shall be back!!
