guests

guests in our greenhouse! I think they're blackbirds. I was very quick at taking a peek and will have to stay out of there for a while now.

This afternoon we were having tea in the garden when a young woman cycled up the drive. She had come to look at a cottage next to us which is for sale. D invited her for a cup of tea and it turned out that she was a junior doctor at our local hospital, all the way from Moldova. It was very interesting to hear about her country and we were glad to hear that she has been made welcome in Dumfries.

I hope she might be not just our guest but our neighbour one day.
