Brid

Lauren and Sam are doing OK in the UK, apart from some struggles at bedtime. It turns out I am missed for one thing; whenever Sam is fighting sleep I’m the one who is able to help him take the extra step (though in all other things Mummy is preferred). I tried to have a conversation with Lauren, but she couldn’t hear me very well so kept asking Claire what I’d said. She did understand the bit where I said “I love you” though, and replied with the same. So that’s all right.

They’re off to the seaside tomorrow (did you know that Bridlington is home to the National Domino Championships, and employs security guards because of past instances of Domino hooliganism?), then meeting up with some of Claire’s friends before heading to my Mum’s.
