So, a friend has asked to come and visit for a few nights. She and her family (husband & two kids) come to visit about twice or three times a year since returning from a long stint abroad, which is fine. But I find that two nights is really more than enough. They have family nearby, who can’t/won’t put them up, so they like to combine their visit to family with a stay at ours. Up until now, we always had hardly any space, and it served as a good excuse really, as you can’t spend more than a few nights stepping over people on the living room floor in the morning. But we moved recently and now we have two guest bedrooms (well, one is a study with a pull out bed, but you get the gist). This friend has now suggested that since we have the space, they stay a few extra nights. I fobbed her off by saying that we are probably going to be going away. But I can tell she is building up to asking if they can stay on in my house if we aren’t there!! I love having guests, and have had several weeks of almost constant visitors. Most I’m sad to see go, and wish they could stay longer, but in this case, I’m just dreading it.
