Dear Don, dear Margaret,
My English grandfather and grandmother; that’s how I always referred to you. Don, so kind, helpful, friendly, humorous and caring. Margaret, so sweet, charming, interested in our lives, baking the most wonderful pies and also so very humorous and caring.
I will always remember the beautiful summers at Colehurst Farm and I will be forever grateful for your warm hearts and welcoming my father and later me in your home. These times count for the best times in my life. I will always remember and love you both.

Being a farmer’s daughter and having a keen interest in everything that has to do with England, I always loved my stays at Colehurst Farm. The enormous hospitality of Don and Margaret, the wonderful meals, Don’s unstoppable charm and Margaret’s energy will stay with me forever. When they visited our home in the village on the Haringvliet, the Netherlands, they were in for everything: sailing, sightseeing, visiting friends, even a popular opera!!!
Our daughters, especially Bonnie, and her friend Reinet, spent absolutely marvellous horse riding summer holidays at Colehurst Farm. Fortunately we have many pictures to watch again and again!
Don & Margaret: a legendary couple!!!!
