‘We should go easy on these Frangipanes’ Mum crunched. ‘Here, take them off me.’ ‘I know, I’m the same’ I said, nibbling on my second one that morning. ‘I’ve suddenly developed a huge lesbian appetite.’ ‘A huge appetite for lesbians?’ ‘No, just cravings for more pub lunches, carpet picnics, romantic dinner dates and magnums, you …
Morning Mum, ‘Morning my Love.’ It’s chucking it down and blowing a gale here today. ‘Is it Love? Did Frankie take a coat?’ Yes, I insisted she draped it over her arm as she backed out the door with a piece of toast in her mouth, her lunch box swinging off her shoulder and her …

Hi Mum. ‘Hiya Love.’ Week today. ‘Is it Love? It can’t be, gosh it’s coming round fast.’ Did you see me Christmas shopping today Mum? ‘I did Love, I saw you in Boots.’ I always wear boots, especially this time of year. ‘No Love, Boots, the big one opposite Primark and I saw you in …
