Hospitality houses...

I seem to have done a lot of cleaning and making up beds this week! One reason for this is that I was cleaning Villa Eden and washing all the bedding and towels after my friends in the King's Kids leadership team had stayed there for a few days this week. The other reason is that I've been getting my own house ready and making up beds for the arrival of my whole family who are coming here to have a holiday in the sun. 

It's the first time that my parents have been able to travel since my Dad's critical illness and long hospital-isation, so they're excited but feeling a bit nervous, too. It's also the first time that Dad is travelling overseas with his mobility scooter. My brother and 12 year old niece will be coming with them for the first week, so that they can help with the scooter and other luggage.

The family will all be staying at my house in Ahaurín. It's a town house and I don't have a pool but, as it happens, Villa Eden isn't needed next week for the marriage retreat happening at the leadership development centre. This means that I still have some time during the week to finish getting Eden ready for the next retreat group arriving at the beginning of July.  It also means that my family can have their own private swimming pool, any time we feel like taking a drive over there. The weather forecast is for pleasant sunny days of around 25 degrees, so having the use of a pool will be a welcome blessing.
