Welcome Back!

Our Norman twins arrived this morning, nearly 60 of them and I'm glad to say that the sun was out to greet them. It was lovely meeting people again. We had three generations staying with us. Agnes who stayed with us the last time around, her daughter, Sophie who is profoundly deaf and her granddaughter Chloe who at 5 years old was an absolute honey. Sophie and I managed to communicate with ipods which once again confirms my belief that they're a great wee gadget.
Hosts and visitors all had lunch together and as you can see, it all got off to a good start. In the evening we had a ceremony up in the other village to commemorate those people who were deported during the war, while our guests went out and then had dinner in the village hall. After a long bus journey down, they were off to bed as soon as they came back in. Don't blame them. We were ready for bed too.
