AI CHECKED - 100% HUMAN WRITTEN!!!

We had such a wonderful break in September, i couldnt resist writing a poem about it and was so thrilled that Jason put my poem on their FB page along with a link to my book! 10/06/24

We arrived early at the Fairmile We’re welcomed by Jason’s warm smile He made a pot of tea For my hubby and me I’m happy we’re staying a while! Our bedroom was spotlessly clean And as for the breakfast cuisine The huge choice was amazing (Overnight oats I’m praising) We feasted like a King and Queen! The pre–order system is great It ensured the food on our plate Was ready on time And it tasted divine One downside I’ve put on some weight!!!! For treats you need not travel far The lounge has an honesty bar Drinks and tasty snacks Like yummy flapjacks This guesthouse should rank a four star! Hosts Jason and wife Melanie In tandem, they work seamlessly I can truly attest They look after each guest Shame Fairmile’s not closer to me! There’s plenty more that I could say But sadly I’ve not got all day If it’s in your plans To visit St Anne’s The Fairmile’s the best place to stay!

Jan...a wonderful tribute that truly reflects a human experience. It's great what you did here! Making me smile. I enjoyed the fact that there's an honesty bar....it reflects a culture we should all aspire to!

I would love to visit that bar, but it's just a little too far, I'm in the UK, many miles away, and it's to far to travel by car.

It is such a lovely guest house , if you ever get to the area I can highly recommend it! hugs jan xx

Dear Jan, What a great poem singing the praise of this most amazing place. My wife and I just got back from a bed and breakfast in Naples, Florida, and it was also outstanding and clean. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

I'm so glad you also had a wonderful break Daniel, I have never felt compelled to write a poem like this but the guest house and hosts were top notch and deserved a little poem from me:-) hugs Jan xx

Quite the splendid pro-bono advertisement for Jason and Melanie. Bet they're thrilled to have a famous author on their VIP Roster! Kudos. :o))

LOL AP, Jason described me on his FB page as a 'celebrated author', his use of poetic licence made me lol:-) hugs Jan x

We had the most fabulous time Michael . i have never written a tribute poem like this before and had such fun writing it, It only took about 8 minutes in total as the words flowed so naturally:-) Hope everything is ok with you:-) hugs jan xx

Amazing when a travel produces a poem. You've piqued my interest. I am wondering where this place is. It's nicely penned.

Jan Allison
Date: 10/6/2024 10:41:00 PM

It's in a place called St Anne's which is not far from Blackpool which you may have heard of as it is famous for it's tower:-) hugs Jan xx

A place I will never get to visit but you really brought it to life. I don't know who Jason is. But I think you should send this poem to the owners of this place!

Jan Allison
Date: 10/6/2024 10:39:00 PM

Jason and Melanie run the Fairmile, I sent them a copy of the poem and jason put it on their FB page - he described me as a 'celebrated poet' in his comments and also posted a link to my book which was so kind of him:-) hugs jan xx

Sounds like a ideal place to stay Jan. Bet they'd love this one in a frame to hang proudly on their wall. Tom

Jan Allison

ooh I will suggest that to Jason, thanks for the idea Tom! If you ever want to Blackpool to see the illuminations this is a fab place to stay:-) We cant wait to go back:-) xx

Sounds like a great place to stay for a holiday Jan, one day I hope to visit the Isle of Man… Beryl

Jan Allison

I can't recommend it highly enough Beryl, we used it as a base to go by trams/ bus to Blackpool, Lytham, fleetwood. we even did some swing dancing at the Blackpool tower. would love to meet you Beryl! hugs jan xx

lol Jan. I know you're being humorous with the announcement that it was 100% written by your hand. I won't do that and if anyone believes I would use AI, they can stop reading me just like many have stopped reading blogs about AI... even the one in which no one is allowed to contradict the blogger. The opinion of that one doesn't allow anyone else to have one, although that person readily takes part in every other blog. I recall you telling me about the lovely Inn... glad you wrote about it.

Lin Lane

hugs, and thanks again, chick.

Thanks Lin, I must get back to the book work, spent too much time here today lol:-) so glad you got POTW! hugs Jan xx

Of course it was tongue in cheek. Levity seems to be needed around here lately. Who better to offer it than you?

Jan Allison
Date: 10/6/2024 12:53:00 PM

It was a somewhat tongue in cheek comment Lin lol, the guest house was so amazing i had to do a tribute, it started off as one verse and grew and grew, only took about 8 mins to write from start to finish! hugs jan xx
