Anita is from the Philippines. She met Jimmy in Hong Kong and they married in Australia. Jimmy has worked worldwide on electric transmission engineering. They settled in Carlisle, where Anita worked at the local Asda. Her dream was to run a Guest House. In the Year 2000 they bought and moved into The Warren. Something about The Warren felt especial. A major bus operator in the Philippines uses a rabbit as company logo, and maybe that was a quirky appeal with The Warren. Together Anita and Jimmy know a lot about the local area, where to go, what to do, and what to see.

Carlisle is a city and the county town of Cumbria. Historically in Cumberland, it is also the administrative centre of the City of Carlisle district in North West England
