Linda has written a message to introduce herself and her business:
Hello WIB ladies. I would just like to say how much I am enjoying being a WIB member and I look forward to meeting more of you in the near future.
Having come through a hiatus in my life, I have decided on a completely new lifestyle. I recently opened as a bespoke Bed and Breakfast on the Old Dover Road in Canterbury. My guests have home cooking and are looked after well. The bedrooms are lovely and guests have sole use of the outstanding Garden Room. The garden is park like in size but is only minutes walk from the centre of Canterbury. Please take a moment to look at my website; www.natural-pauses.co.uk - I would appreciate any feedback.
I am a home bird at heart and this line of business is suiting me perfectly. I enjoy taking care of people and have found, so far, that pleasantness in manner and facilities brings out a pleasant attitude in guests.
