We were greeted at the airport by our friends Stephanie and Patrick, and their adorable son, Mr. Darcy. We spent most of our week in England as their guests in Leeds, enjoying great company, excellent food, various outings to different places in Yorkshire, and lots of excellent writing shoptalk. They were incredibly generous hosts, showing us the sites and making us feel welcome.
