visitors take the said sheets off the bed and leave them neatly folded at the end of the bed with the towels they had used ? My mum always told me this was the correct thing to do, some of my guests do, some don't [ peasants] my mum always said also you must never arrive without a gift for the hostess i.e flowers, wine or chocolates and always send a thank you note when you return home.do people still do this type of thing or is it a thing of the past ? I do because that's what I was taught.
