I was talking to some neighbours this morning. They're just back from a visit to relations on the south coast and were telling me about their trip. Jenny* asked about my trip to Richmond 3 weeks ago. I said I'd enjoyed it but, all the same, was glad to be home.
"Well, I should think so," she said, "this is such a lovely, friendly house, it must be really good to come home to."
That's one of the nicest things that anyone's ever said to me! I've always hoped my home might strike other people that way but have never had any certainty.
* not her real name.
