Winter breakfast

My three B&Bers at breakfast this morning!
Colin with his back to us is my regular guy who comes on a Monday & goes home on Thursday has been with us for two years now. He lives in Scotland & is the tidiest B&B I have ever had.
Andy on left & Martin facing work for the same firm but separately, each traveling all over the world for the company. They each come & stay approx every two weeks for a couple of nights. They have got to know each other quite well over the months so today there was lots of chat.
I took this crafty photo as they were eating.
I must say at my time of life this type of B&B is perfect as they have breakfast early & are out all day! I find it's the holiday makers that are much more work.

Three good things:
1. A long talk to my sister, they are snowed in where she lives in Norfolk.
2. I gave given the downstairs shower room a real good deep down clean.
3. Only light showers of snow so far!
well fed and homely/ what more could they ask for.
we keep having snow showers quite blowy too. so drifting a bit

What a cozy shot! So strange that you are starting to get winter weather when we are well into spring at the moment - and I am not complaining!!
It is far too early for spring here so I am expecting another blast of winter yet.

This does look cosy but the thought of getting up early and cooking breakfasts now gives me the heebie jeebies. I can’t believe I did it for 18 years. I’ve adapted to retirement very well 😁😁.

Sounds like they like the homeliness of you place as well.... looks cosy...
February 28th, 2018  
Looks so warm and comfortable and I bet the breakfast was delicious!

Such a cosy place to be in this weather with or without snow!!! And nice to have people you know regularly.....and for them a real treat!
February 28th, 2018  
@brennieb yes indeed Brenda, off out this morning with full tummies!
February 28th, 2018  
@farmreporter Yes winter lives to give us a reminder that she not done yet!

@susiemc I thought you would count your blessings of retirement Sue. To be honest I love the B&B's coming to stay, we meet such interesting people. Not to keen on wedding guests staying but the rest of them I still get a kick out of doing B&B, I do like it quieter in the winter though, I love a lie in!

@julzmaioro @thistle Thank you both, I think they do find it cosy, home from home they say!
February 28th, 2018  
@newbank Yes Colin comes every week Ruth. He's not a bit of bother though & very tidy!
February 28th, 2018  
Looks like you have a full house, Pat! All the better that they are good folks that you enjoy.
Hope that springtime is right around the corner for you.

@beryl thank you Beryl, very kind but to be honest I am a bit sick of beams, I quite long for an open plan modern home these days!
February 28th, 2018  
@gijsje @carolmw Thank you both, that's the comment I like to hear!
February 28th, 2018  
@sarah19 Yes I love that they aren't strangers & feel at home. Andy has just been back actually & collected his stuff. He lives in the Cotswolds so wanted to get back before the next snowfall.
February 28th, 2018  
Is the downstairs shower room used by you or the B&B's? Early breakfast means early rising for you! Don't know how you do it! Love to see the tea cosy on the table!
February 28th, 2018  
What a friendly, cosy feel! :)
February 28th, 2018  
This is so neat! I'm certain some of these folks become like family to you. What a wonderful opportunity to get to know others.
February 28th, 2018  
What a lovely scene. How nice that you have long time visitors!
February 28th, 2018  
@maggiemae just by us Maggie, we have four bathrooms but the others go with the three B&B rooms. I never noticed the teapot but I see it now, well spotted! One had coffee, two tea!
February 28th, 2018  
@filsie65 @essiesue @louannwarren Thank you very much & yes they do become part of the family but we don't need to see the guests if we don't want as they come in & bypass our area so I don't see them come & go.
February 28th, 2018  
I have so many great memories of the B&B's that we have stayed in...two years, you must be a wonderful hostess .
February 28th, 2018  
Lovely room at your b&b.
February 28th, 2018  
@peggysirk Thank you Peggy, I suppose to anyone else it would be unacceptable to have strangers in the house but without question over the last 25 years I can count on one hand the awkward ones. We have made really good friends with many over the years & so many come back again & again. The really ready for Spring now though!

@pennyrae @chris17 Thank you both, I do try & they are all very nice, if I didn't likevthese longer term stayers I wouldn't have them! A few years ago I had one that irritated me to death, I passed him onto someone else nearer his work!
February 28th, 2018  
What a cosy setting. No wonder they are regulars, you look after them so well.
February 28th, 2018  
Lovely- warm and welcoming capture!
February 28th, 2018  
So cozy and inviting. I can see why Colin would keep coming back for more
