Somehow the Pubs reached out to us every other day

sconebyscone.com

Sheets of rain, powerful downpours at times have defined most of our days here in Norwich, Norfolk, and our last full day Sunday was no exception. Huge gusts had the dogs on high alert and us wondering what was going on. David, Roo and Tilley were caught in a late afternoon storm that it seems circl...

A lovely neighborhood in Norwich pronounced to rhyme with porridge

All roads from Kent pointed to Norwich as our next and final gig in our rookie summer as housesitters. That is, TrustedHousesitters. Before we left, we served Christian and Helen a Salsa Algria breakfast. No scones, but zucchini tots. We had to use some of the 20-pound beast left for our use. Tully....

Don’t worry madame dead birds don’t fly

sconebyscone.com

Sixteenth century life laced with lots of modern conveniences seems to be agreeing with us here within the gates of Kitford Mead. The doves delight with their flight from roof to food to daily bath. The dogs’ routines keep all of us busy, though they do tend to bark more than we do. Our attire is ...

Don’t ask what happened but we quickly found another assignment in Kitford Mead

sconebyscone.com

We are settling in at our second house sitting assignment, Kitford Mead. Instead of being in Scotland as we had scheduled, we are in Kent, southern England, as the Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, house sit petered out the day we left the US. Don’t ask what happened, but we quickly found another assignme...

Best dressed dogs was the first category to be judged

sconebyscone.com

It felt like Labor Day weekend here in England, but it was actually August bank holiday, which means most everyone had Monday off, many stores are closed and the grocery shops have Sunday hours,10 to 4. It also meant it was unseasonably hot, getting into the upper 80s.

Testimonials

“

"Fun, funny, and delicious, Scone by Scone sheds witty and wise light on the dream of owning a B&B. A must read for any traveler, and essential for all of you would-be B&B-ers out there!"

 ”
Jennifer Jordan, author

"There is something comforting in knowing that good, smart people still exist...and that they've made you a scone and a cup of tea and would like to chat a bit...which is what it's like reading Deedie Runkel's wonderful book. There's no palace intrigue here, just the story of a life well-lived, and the glory of deciding that it's always the right time to change your life completely."

”
Tod Goldberg, Director
