Bittersweet memories Fiona!
Being a sentimental fool, your blog brought a few tears to my eyes, I can just imagine how wonderful those evenings used to be; starting a comment book was a brilliant idea, how very precious to look back to that!
Our bnb comment book had to be removed, something we had to do once Covid came along and we were allowed to open up again.
It was such an awesome way to remember the people who came from near and some from far across the seas!
Nowadays we only have South African guests and online reviews, I should start taking screenshots of those and paste it into our comment book.
I can understand your dilemma as sitting around the dinner table is too close, so what to do???
Perhaps in summertime you could consider having outdoors event where there's natural ventilation; you don't have a summer rainfall so this could work?
A lovely #bow response Fiona!

Ag, you know, Lizelle, sometimes those evenings - because they were actually days, too, with the prep, were really hard. Exhausting and sometimes a little stressful! By and large, though I did enjoy them and the prep.
I have said that, if there are folk that want a Sunday Supper experience, we'll consider it. There will have to be a minimum (and maximum) number and I might also reserve the right to ask if they're vaccinated. Perhaps once the Vax passport issue is resolved...
Outside dining is difficult to guarantee: we often get wind. Believe it or not. The best evenings, potentially, for al fresco dining is late January to about mid-April. From experience, I do know that I always have to have a plan B up my sleeve!
