Mum called after watercolor class. She finally painted a sky she did not describe as apocalyptic.
Mum retired from the primary-school library last year but still volunteers there on Tuesday mornings. She remembers every former pupil by the book they borrowed most often.
Sunday lunch at Mum and Dad's. She sent me home with enough apple crumble for three days.
She has started a watercolor class in Greenwich and is happiest painting trees, although she says every sky still turns out stormier than intended.
Sunday lunch at Mum and Dad's usually means roast potatoes, too much pudding, and a container of leftovers pressed into my hands before I leave.
