We arrived for our October holiday on the Saturday afternoon.
On the Sunday morning there was a little tap, tap on the door. Nick opened the door and there was no-one there, just a beautiful bunch of flowers left on the doorstep.
Walt - it makes my heart sing, every time it happens.
The Broad - we are so lucky.
Meredith - it's so thoughtful.
C&E - flowers speak more than words sometimes.
Gaynor - it was Mme André. She leaves us many little presents every holiday - she's so sweet and such a wonderful neighbour.
Ken - five holidays totalling seven weeks so far this year, with Christmas to come yet. Plus a long weekend for Nick by himself. We haven't been anywhere else for a holiday for four years.
Knock, knock.
ReplyDeleteWho's there?
Canoe.
Canoe who?
Canoe come to the door and get a beautiful bouquet of flowers?
Those are beautiful flowers, and a wonderfully friendly gesture.
What a nice way to start a holiday!

ReplyDeleteA bunch of flowers makes all the difference in life, doesn't it??
ReplyDeleteWhat a kind and thoughtful person to think of doing that!
A wonderful gesture of welcome. Were you able to find out who left them for you?
ReplyDeleteYou both must be well liked, Jean.
