Love birds

Term encompassing two people in a relationship almost regardless of how serious they are. Thought of this when referring to Polly and Adri who stayed at Naworth over the weekend.

Serving drinks

As I mimicked during the JKKs' recent visit to Naworth, Dad would preface the serving of drinks by telling a guest: "I'm worried about your thirst". Sounds so much more attentive than just saying "what would you like to drink?". A bit OTT, though.
