Valentine's at the Inn, Part 1

Wellness Loud
About this episode

Our story tonight is called Valentine’s at the Inn, Part 1, and it is a story about guests arriving on a sunny cold day to the warmth and charm of the Village Inn. It’s also about breakfast served on freshly ironed table cloths in the drawing room, socks with hearts on them, a black cat and a feather duster, and a little mystery that begins to unwind.


We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to the Open Sight Foundation who aim to provide access to life-changing eye surgeries. Through Operation Sight, we strive to restore vision and transform lives.
