The MP visits

Number Fifteen had another special visitor this week when Wirral West MP Stephen Hesford called in to have a look round. He was very complimentary about the place and even suggested that he might mention us to the Parliamentary golf team.

I love the coincidences that emerge when I talk to the B and B guests. One of my favourites concerns two ladies who live in Reigate, Surrey, and who bumped into each other in the High Street one morning. One, having just been on holiday here, recommended Number Fifteen to the other, who had announced she was shortly to visit Hoylake. Both ladies have now made repeat visits here, although not yet both at the same time.

There was another coincidence this week. A couple of guests from Bedfordshire had told us about their labrador which was being looked after back at home. They were out for a walk yesterday and stopped to chat to one of our neighbours who happened to be walking his golden labrador. They commented on how very similar the neighbour’s dog was to theirs. Incredibly it turned out that the two dogs were sisters and had come originally from Preston.
