As we have been very busy with our little Airbandb, especially on weekends we have had little time to entertain, something we both enjoy. I love the organising and socialising and Luis loves to cook. Perfect!
So this weekend we took full advantage of our guest free villa.
It is wonderful to be able to use our pool, well kids of our guests if nothing else.
We had two couples who I have wanted to have for ages for a late lunch/early dinner. I was in charge of this meal, a strict gluten free menu as Julie (one of the guests) has celiac disease. I think I surpassed my normal self!
Lizzie, Alastair and family. I knew from our first encounter that me and Lizzie would be fast friends. It has taken a while, having three kiddies and being lovely people puts her in huge demand and so happy to have finally had them over.
Julie and Stewart worked with three other great friends around the globe. They worked with and are friends of Maria in Romania and Jocelyn and Dan in Jakarta. As Maria and Jocelyn are two of my closest friends from International teaching world I knew Stewart and Julie would be pretty fabulous people and I was not wrong.
Sunday Luis prepared a very popular and delicious (by all accounts as it was not veggie friendly) Ecuadorian meal for a couple we have been dying to get to know. They live down the road, Rhinan is from a town close to Bruton and Philpe is from Italy (and their names I have most certainly spelt wrong).
We had such a lovely day with them and really I almost burst into tears when I learnt they will be leaving in July.
They have an adorable son too who just loved Lola. So now I have 3 months to try to convince them to stay!
