My dinner party went well though. The 2 couples seemed to get on well, they hadn't met before. One couple lives in our village and they too have a house in France.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning everybody, grey and overcast here with heavy rain expected this evening. I need to pot up all the heucheras I dug up yesterday after I put yet more washing in the machine.
Glad the dinner party went okay @Busy-Lizzie, always a slight concern when some guests don't know each other. OH has a foodie friend coming to stay soon and already I'm slightly stressing as to what I can cook.
Hopefully your unexpected guests will take your mind off the tooth extraction @coccinella, you'll be so, so glad to get that over and done with. It's been a long drawn out saga for something so simple. I did wonder the other day whether you should have popped over to Poland and have it done - I understand their dentists are very good and very reasonable.
Good news indeed @punkdoc - the pre -op I mean not the hard frosts!
Hope your enjoy your SIL and niece's visit @tui34, nice for you to have some company.
Hello everyone. 20 degrees, with rain predicted later, so not a bad start to the day. We are going to town soon ( when Hubby returns from unlocking the fire shed for some mechanics). I sometimes wonder where everyone else is hiding. 🤬. It’d be nice to have a break from the various demands. Whinge, whinge.
Holiday is still blissfully relaxing, just a beautiful place. Went for a stroll around the grounds yesterday and stumbled across the kitchen garden, loads of herbs and little tomato and aubergine plants. Obviously not enough to service all the guests, but a nice thought they they're growing some of their own herbs. All the gardens are lovely too, although there does seem to be an entire team devoted to managing it - if only....😁
Hope you're feeling a bit better @Hostafan1 and good luck with the extraction @coccinella.
Off to local town this morning and then back for a full body scrub in the spa.
Have a good day all.

Hi all from a very sunny and crisp Sheffield. The birds are going wild out there at the moment, they must know something. The Redwings have arrived and are devouring the Yew berries and the Beech trees have the first hint of buttery yellow on their leaves.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Glad you enjoyed your own dinner party … that’s always a sign of success I feel 😃

Sorry I’ve been super busy and, reading back, I have missed loads!
