Our neighbours from the village arrived, unexpectedly, with a sister who is here from the holy land.  Their visit was a welcome diversion from a morning spent with the hoe and rake trying to beat the weeds before they take hold and become too toublesome.  I look forward to seeing Helen again when she next visits Colmworth and to seeing our neighbours when they fancy a wander along the road and a drink and a catch up on a sunny spring or summer evening.
