This afternoon, Blaine and the kids picked Tris and I up from Rotary and delivered the kids and I back here. Tris and Blaine had to go to a funeral.

After T1 and T2 had marched into their room with their travel bags, unpacked and T2 and I had put Mum’s old pearl necklace on her, we made popcorn and shared it in the back garden as they chatted about their week at school and home. It was very sweet. I just spent time with them, letting things flow. After they’d eaten, we retired to the family room where T1 played the Wii and T2 and I played with lego. T1 joined us after a while ‘cos that looked fun too!
