Chez Shaz

I’m homeless at the moment due to some work being carried out on my house, so I’ve become something of a nomad, travelling around Hebden Bridge staying here and there. Being nomadic makes it difficult to keep in touch with friends as frequently as I would like. I hope this Blog post explains why I might be slow replying.

Last week I stayed at Sharon’s B & B in Hebden. She was away on holiday and needed someone to look after her two cats. I’ve been looking after Reggie and Rosie, and enjoying staying in one of Sharon’s two double bedrooms in her lovely large house, until she returned.

She hails from Liverpool and has this great poster on her kitchen wall:

I’m fascinated by Liverpool’s overhead railway. If it hadn’t been demolished in the 1960s it would surely be a huge tourist attraction today.

The cats were good as gold. Meet the cats. This is Reggie:

And this is Rosie in her favourite spot:

Sharons house is right in the centre of Hebden and was great for popping back home to check on the work, and handy for shops and cafes.

She also has good WiFi .

Her kitchen has a high ceiling, and has allowed her to create this brilliant light feature:

When asked where I’d been staying last week I had to decide whether to say I’d been staying at Garnett B & B, or Chez Shaz. This, spotted on the landing table, helped:

Sharon is very much a people person, with a welcoming personality, well suited for running a B & B. Probably why Garnett B & B is currently #3 for B&B on TripAdvisor for Hebden Bridge.

Thanks to Sharon for a great stay.

Where am I going to end up next?

Look out. I might be knocking on YOUR door!

END.
