For all the bad press they get mothers-in-law are pretty amazing creatures. For the past four weeks Heather has tirelessly entertained our little tots, inventing an unending stream of two-year-old games to be played, feeding them, bathing them, and caring for them. By way of compensation we have allowed her occasional snatches of sleep in the loft room. She has weathered it all and had the grace to call it “a magnificent granny holiday”. I think I would have called it a labour camp and never come back …

We can’t believe she’s off tomorrow. It’s going to be very different without her; Josie may well prove inconsolable. It feels a bit like real life starts again on Thursday.

Two new sets in the gallery.
