Big wave hello from Lancaster (UK)

I see some familiar faces here, and some I don't recognise .... I've been hosting since Spring 2014 and love the whole process - meeting new people, learning about where they're from, enjoying seeing how much they love Lancaster and, of course, making some income so that we can, well, travel! My husband and I have used Airbnb as guests for approaching five years now a d have had some great experiences. So grateful for this space Deborah - the host groups are been totally invaluable over the past year (I'm currently part of New Hosts, Anecdotes, 911, and the local Manchester group (OK, Lancaster is a bit of a distance, but us the closest group, and I am a Manchester gal by origin anyway!) - it's fab of you to ensure we still have a private space
I look forward to hearing and learning from folks in this new forum
