Doreen, it's almost the same when you prepare for a house viewing. Everything gets stuffed into drawers and cupboards so there is nothing left out on work surfaces or tables. Beds made and fluffed up, coffee on - then you get the phone call (if you are lucky) to say they will not be coming....
Richard, I've just seen on BBC that Europe is basking n extreme temperatures and the cut off point is Northern Spain, so although it is hot here now it isn't hot, hot, if you know what I mean. Love it like this and wish it were the same all year - we do need some of your rain though but only overnight!
