Friends and relations

We are inundated right now by people some of whom turn up out of the blue and some who try to book up weeks ahead to make sure they catch us. All are welcome, from the two families, mine and Davids we have already entertained about 20 groups and more to come! My son and grand daughter went home yesterday. David's grandson and his family arrive today. None of them are actually sleeping here thank goodness but they arn't far away! Next week arrives a very old friend from Chelmsford and all her family. We have a lot of catching up to do! My friends vary in the way they first see me in a dog collar. Roars of laughter are not uncommon but mostly they go a bit tongue tied and wary until the old Jean asserts itself and makes them laugh! Priests are people too!
