Oh, and I enjoyed plant balls, mash, gravy and jam, Josh had a hangover so didn’t enjoy them quite so much. That boy knows how to spoil his mum.

Another insightful piece that got my mind meandering. Josh has made it all the way to Leeds and visits often, but I still miss his mess, his untimely hogging of the bathroom and his hoovering of the fridge contents. We recently enjoyed a trip to Ikea to buy the finishing touches to turn his latest flat into a home of sorts. We bought a rug, some kitchen bits, towels and a yucca plant; the same plant that I had in my singleton London flat. I hope his fates better than mine! I hope Katie enjoys uni and you settle into solo housework and uninterrupted writing. Perhaps we’ll hear more from you.

Bittersweetness that made me miss my own Dad and reflect on when I left home as a young daughter forever ago 🧡🧡🧡

Ah, this was a lovely slightly melancholy but still uplifting bit of writing ❤️❤️

Ah, thank you Jenny. I just walked her and a very big bag of damp washing back to the station. It’s good that she’s been able to go away and enjoy the uni experience but is still so close.
