Love Actually

Where do our guests come from - are they all English?  This is something we are often asked and the answer is, they come from all over!  Britain and the rest of Europe of course but also Japan, Latvia, Finland and sometimes America.
Just last week we had a lovely guest from Appleton, Wisconsin, USA who had come all the way to La Palma to walk the GR130. It's a very long way to come for a very long walk.  What a star!  And I think I can honestly say that I have never (knowingly) met anyone from Wisconsin before and my only knowledge of the place is from that well-known film.  I think we can hazard a guess that the portrayal of Wisconsin in the film was not strictly accurate. 
In fact, it seems Wisconsin is the dairy capital of the United States and Appleton sits in its heartland.   And it is in Appleton that you can find Wilmar's who are famous for their small batch fresh chocolates.


So I have just two things to say to our guest:- many thanks for making the big trip over to come and stay here and well done for your impressive walking endeavours on La Palma.  Oh, and thank you for the chocolates!
