Departing friends

So ....... home alone once again until the next visitors, the last of the year at the beginning of November.

The Plastows were 'chucked out' at Departures at the airport this morning and we waved as the British Airways flight   passed virtually over our garden some twenty five minutes late.  Don't know if they could see us or not but they were sitting on the right side of the plane with window seats.  Actually they were on the left of the plane but I'm sure you know what I mean.  We had all enjoyed their stay which allowed them to 'chill' after busy work schedules although looking at the UK weather it might be that they will chill at home also.  The weather could not have been better for them over the last seven days and once again today there are clear blue skies.

After the traditional fun with the stone laying ceremony and drinks on the patio as the sun set it was a walk into the village for a meal at Pyrgos and then into the pub to watch the England v Poland World Cup football match.  There was a good atmosphere with a solid 'round of applause' from most of the throng when the final whistle blew.

Today is the usual cleaning and clearing after visitors and Lillian in her normal efficiency had the washing machine going within the hour of returning home from the airport.  However a walk beckons later this afternoon as we move to 'remove' the extra pounds from a week of too much eating and drinking.  Its tough go being sociable.
