Today is Mother's Day and here I am sat in my bedsit thinking about the goings on at - what shall I call it - the house where my children live? Becky's house.
Those goings on would have been the kind of thing that would have filled me with a certain sense of dread in days gone by. A fairly raucous family occasion!
You see I didn't really have much of a family growing up, and so Becky's clan - from day one pretty much - was an incredibly alien and overwhelming entity to me. We were together for fourteen years and I never got used to it. But then as they all would suggest - and I would now readily admit - I didn't exactly try. Little wonder things didn't improve!
I hope they are having fun and that Becky especially is having a fantastic day. She is a wonderful mother. So patient and caring. Wish I was there.
