For the first time since the pandemic lockdowns, our grandson is going to be staying overnight tonight. Julie has been over to collect him, and he is looking forward to his first sleepover in a long time. He is seven years old now, very inquisitive and active, and with it still raining outside, we are going to have to find things to keep him amused in the house.

Then we will take him to a local ‘family-friendly’ pub for an early dinner.

As a result, my serial episode will not be appearing today, so anyone following ‘Gabby is missing’ will have to wait until tomorrow at least. Sorry.
