Today we are expecting a visit from my son Kev and his two youngest children, Emma and Tom for the weekend .

Apart from Marshall we have got out of the habit of having people to stay even if it is family. So it was up early, well early for us to do a bit of extra housework, floors cleaned, beds changed etc, now I am knackered before they even arrive.

On the whole our lives have become very sedentary , so a houseful of humans will no doubt be quite a challenge as far as energy is concerned. Having said that we had another first this week, we were out in town for a meal and few drinks with friends on Wednesday night, I say a few drinks, some had more than others which in turn made for an interesting journey home by train…..I will say no more😂😂

Don’t get me wrong I am looking forward to seeing them, thankfully like us, they are never in a hurry to rise in the morning. Can’t remember the last time we had teenagers staying, one of which is a Vegetarian so I hope I have managed to meet her needs, her dad on the other hand will eat anything!

Not sure how to engage with teenagers these days, I am told they will be glued to their phones so no need to worry! Either way, I am sure it will be enlightening and I can always spend next week sleeping.
