Here I am with Olympic level knitting skills honed over almost 60 years and neither of my girls are looking at all likely to produce any grandchildren for me to swathe in hand-crafted knitwear. I do have two great-nieces though, one a brand new arrival last Saturday, so there is that.

I also find sadly I have more time with grandson as I did with son because of work and home life. My son says to Alfie “I never got away with XYZ when I little but you are”. I no longer care if I have finger prints over the glass table etc as it can be cleaned when he’s left. Maybe it’s not everyone’s outlook but it’s mine.
