you know you live in a major tourist destination when...

....you have a UK-European power adapter and a bunch of chargers for
phone types you don't have, so your guests can charge their mobiles.

What else do people here have for guests? Supplies of Vegemite for
visiting Australians? Adapted plumbing for Americans who've never
seen a non-mixing tap? Coffee makers for ways of doing it you'd
never use yourself? A bidet? A Muslim prayer mat and qibla sign?
A sub to the International Herald Tribune? A local guidebook in a
foreign language?

Maps. Lots of maps. Guides to local attractions. Extra toothbrushes.
Sleep masks. A broadband connection and a spare laptop. Books and
toys for kids.

I found one of those in the house today. I have no idea where it came
from. I was looking for a European to UK/Irish one, because I am off
on a trip tomorrow.

and a bunch of chargers for
phone types you don't have, so your guests can charge their mobiles.

I used to have a selection but they never got used, so they went to
the recycling centre.

The spare bedroom is always kept ready for guests. If it rains, there
are books and CDs, a dartboard, board games, FreeSat, and a nice pub
down the road. And the view is spectacular, even in bad weather.

When should we expect you?

A list of local hotels.

visiting Australians? Adapted plumbing for Americans who've never
seen a non-mixing tap? Coffee makers for ways of doing it you'd
never use yourself? A bidet? A Muslim prayer mat and qibla sign?
A sub to the International Herald Tribune? A local guidebook in a
