It was a miracle. My home was habitable by the time they arrived... just. Well, what you could see of it was, at any rate.
It was a veritable invasion. A smaller group than previously, but in many ways even nicer because of it. And with the exception of the boat trip being cancelled due to a wonky walkway needing welding, it was a surprisingly snag-free weekend with good food, a good mix of things to do and relatively little convoy driving because the drivers tended to know their way around. I love chances like this, not only to show off my little island which I love so much, but also to revel in its beauty myself afresh through the eyes of others.
Most odd, my mantlepiece seems suddenly to be home to a glass bottle full of multicoloured sand, a beautiful dancing glass penguin, and a golden parsnip wearing a beret and a smug smile!
