Are there four guests? No. There are five of them – our son, his wife, their twins and the cat! They had a hard journey – a tailback on the road from England. Hello! A short visit from our daughter (something forgotten yesterday). Now the children are asleep (and the cat too). It is time to go to bed ourselves. I’ve put the plant tubs in the porch for fear of frost.
