Hospitality

Well, despite being temporarily misplaced last night, we eventually made it to Uncle Joseph and Aunt Maggie's house just after dark and what a welcome we had. Christmas lights all round the door and a roaring fire inside. Today we all went for a long walk through the countryside and along the river running next to the house. Later it was back to the fire, a chance to play and to eat as much yummy food as possible ... anyone care for something more to eat?!


"When friends are at your hearthside met,
Sweet courtesy has done its most
If you have made each guest forget
That he himself is not the host."

(Thomas Bailey Aldrich - from Hospitality)
