Hosta - this couple are ex work colleagues and we've been friends for over 30 years. As we are new here ourselves we're happy to go off and explore with them or flop at base while they go off. He's a steam train buff so we've organised tickets for an excursion on a Vendée choo-choo. They'll have their car so will be autonomous.
The next lot are BIL and 2 SILS who are coming by plane so need fetching and carrying and they don't speak any French so they need shepherding. The things I do to maintain OH's family ties! But it's a lot better for me to have them here than to go there cos I end up doing all the shopping and cooking anyway if I want edible food.
It's stayed really cool today and the forecast rain has not materialised. However the garden is positively purring after all the rain early this morning. OH can't understand why potting compost is on teh shopping list again.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Gardened nearly all day in the glorious rain! Thought I'd like a new shape around the lawn, some sort of feature. A summer house would do fine! reshape the ławn, replant, brilliant. OH informed, oh dear! Now we need something the size of the titanic to house a gym! All I want is somwhere to sit, sip wine, chill and snuggle up BUT mainly just a new planting oportunity!
We've had a heavy frost this morning. Don't know what the temp got to, but last night it got down to minus 3.8 . I'm snuggled in bed with onlybforearms out to operate the iPad.

Obs, there aren't many folk I'd like to have stay for 4 days, unless they were the sort to fend for themselves while I was working in the garden.
Obs; I get fed up of my betrothed after four days you must be a much better person than I!!
Awful weather all day and I swear as I stood looking out the window you could see the grass growing.
Believe it or not we still havent had rain!
