DEAR SPOOK We got into our house at around mid-day. It is bare, but still looks like home. The cats couldn't believe their luck when they were allowed to roam around. They were all sitting on their cushions in the back lobby waiting for the children. Then they began to regret it as more and more children poured into the house once school was out - Angus, Aaron, Grieg, Connor and Shane. Upstairs was for the girls - Alice,Amy, Katie, Holly, Maisie. Mothers came and went and helped me to throw toast and beans at the children. Sara brought me a food package and so did Shane's Mum. Others adults were Postie Jim, Ailsa, Jenna, Robert, Nicky and Dave. Everyone says they have just been desperate to see the house back to it's normal open door policy. Our bed has been moved downstairs and upstairs has been taken over by the children. I will put all that right over the weekend, or it really will be anarchy by the time you get home.
All sleepover's have been postponed til tomorrow so that I can get a bit of order into the house and maybe attempt to unpack one or two things - at least by the time you get home at Christmas. I need to strim the grass (it has never dried long enough for the mower) and do a lot of weeding round the house.
By the sounds of it, there will be about 20 children sleeping over tomorrow. I hope that reassures you that you are in the right place for the time being.
