Some of the order in which things have happened have got in a bit of a muddle, but I am quite sure that this makes absolutely no difference!!

Anyway, last week, just before the Fetes des Voisines we had two very good friends come to visit for a couple of days. Alan is a fellow Scot and he and Gavin worked together in Japan for a number of years and his lovely fiancee, Yuri who was so helpful and welcoming when Gavin took me to Japan for a holiday last summer. It was lovely to be able to return a little of their hospitality.
