Robinswood is in Burnham-on-Crouch, in Essex. Its not as much about walking as it is boating, but theres countryside enough just outside the town, I think. To be honest, Ive not spent a good deal of time there, its always been meant more as a career house for myself, and eventually Joseph and Max. To my knowledge, there arent any other Wizarding residences in the area. Sweet things I can provide in abundance, sausages and bacon and coffee too, if your mother - or father, really - doesnt object to you spending so much time in my company. I promise less wild adventure, and only as much scandal as Morag may provide.
Today was my last day at work. They had a nice do at lunch, with lamb and rice and an onion and beef stew, and as a surprise, had found a steak to make for me English style. It wasnt remotely the same, but I appreciated the sentiment. Tomorrow I will pack and make my goodbyes - Ive purchased half a dozen chickens, as a gift to my invisible hostess, whom I will see for the fourth time on my departure, and then head home. I think you are right though, that Ive learned here. It might not have been so enjoyable as Portugal, but it taught me how poncy I look with a beard. I make no promises on you ever seeing such a thing, it would alter your opinion of me greatly.
What would you like best for your Solstice present, Sahka?
Did I say it right? Im sure I didnt. Youll teach me soon.

Dear Padma,
Robinswood is in Burnham-on-Crouch, in Essex. It's not as much about walking as it is boating, but there's countryside enough just outside the town, I think. To be honest, I've not spent a good deal of time there, it's always been meant more as a career house for myself, and eventually Joseph and Max. To my knowledge, there aren't any other Wizarding residences in the area. Sweet things I can provide in abundance, sausages and bacon and coffee too, if your mother - or father, really - doesn't object to you spending so much time in my company. I promise less wild adventure, and only as much scandal as Morag may provide.
