Three for a Girl

This morning when I opened up there were THREE magpies in the conservatory. They're pretty big birds but they can only have come in through the skylights. Clearly bird brained. I opened the double doors. One slammed itself against one of the panes then hopped out (with a mis-shapen beak). The other two hid in the fig tree and had to be shepherded (can one shepherd a magpie?) towards the door.
This afternoon 17 students of Spanish and their Chilean teacher came for High Tea.
Next week we have 32 Chinese visitors.
Tea can bridge most any cultural divide.
