Anticipation of the return

I am getting very excited in anticipation of Lisbeth's arrival on Sunday. It's been a long four months since she left and I just can't wait to have her back.

Needless to say, she'll hit this place like a whirling dervish. She'll throw open the shutters to let in the light and fresh air before unloading Postman Pat and filling the sitting room with boxes and stuff she's brought from England. Then she'll be putting back fuses, turning things on and connecting things up. Beds will be made up and fires lit. Rugs will be put back on the floor (taken up in case of damp), stuff taken out of storage, furniture put back in place and the kitchen re-animated. And that's only in the first couple of hours! It wears me out just thinking about it.

So I have just two more quiet days before the house bursts into life and the next phase of our French adventure begins....................
