Newcastle
Last night marked a turning point ... not a big one... but nevertheless a turning point. Last night, I spent a night in a hotel just outside Newcastle (not as exciting as
makyo and
steer 's recent trips to Paris but the location isn't really the point). Just me. No Paul. No Ellie. Just me - in a big Kingsize bed. And I slept in until 8am!!!
I felt like a bad mother, having abandoned my baby (Ok, so she's 3 in a couple of weeks...) overnight (I left at 8pm, once she was in bed :) ) , so when the training course ended at 4pm, I immediately drove home. And got back just as she was returning from nursery - to a big hug. Ahhh.
Then she said "what have you brought me from the castle Mummy?" ... Oops, no present. Hadn't even crossed my mind. Maybe I really am a bad Mummy!
