That sounds like a perfect visit )) Because, when I visit my mother's house (it is a building in 80 km from her "home" with a big garden where nobody lives), I always try to help her in the garden as much as I can. And it looks like a total "workout" for me, everything in rush... but I'd like so much just to sit under a tree and listen to the sounds. Sometimes I can to this also, once in a few years.
Amyway, I'm happy for you :)
