So then – Mr H & I trekked out to Heathrow Terminal 5 on Sunday, to go collect 'Granny' (Mum), who's been to my sister's for the past 2 weeks, to give us a break.
Having asked her what she'd been doing during the 2 weeks (mostly being pushed in a wheelchair to drop Cathy's kids off at school each day, as she's too lazy to walk the 200 yards), I thought I'd just check how pleased she was to be home from her voyages.
'So then Mum', says I, 'did you miss us?'
'Oh no….' comes her immediate reply - 'but I did miss Scrumpy and Mojo!'
And with that, we know our place in Mum's world! Somewhere behind sherry, hot meals, red wine, the dog, the cat, watching TV and the sofa. Hey ho! x
