July 14

The kindness of hospitality cannot be understated

Cleaning out the cobwebs that the dusty road created

A smile across the table and a second plate of food 

Jokes about the soap that we had managed to elude

A witty granny at the helm for all our sewing needs

I'm thankful for this house and all the kindness that it breeds

To say our thanks we cook a meal in true improvised kiwi style

Grandad's impressed, and later says it's his first dinner in a while
