Joelle and Luigi invited us to a cottage stay last weekend (Oct 5-7). It was a lovely place. A big old fully furnished house with 3 bedrooms. Her closer friends were there.
There was nothing very much to do in the small village. But it was truly the company that mattered. We did what we would do when we were teenagers like playing card games, scrabble, and my favourite, gramble. The guys introduced us to drinking games called the pyramid thingy, I was spared. I chose to distribute the cards instead, which clearly was an easier job.
The better part was meal time. There was always a lot of food on the table. 9 of us gathered round for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including Nathan, there would be laughters and lotsa of smiles. We even had an afternoon of bbq lunch, which turned up splendid. The weather was perfect for a wk end out. We found badminton rackets and net, and some metal balls, the outdoor games bonded us further. There’s something about team work and games that bring even the most unliked people together. We love it.
Thank you Joelle and Luigi for driving us to and fro Cambridge to the cottage, and taking such good care of us, and for loving Nathan the best you could.
