The bookshelves at the G's have a wide ranging selection of travel guides. Well thumbed paperbacks, The Rough Guide to West Africa, ditto Central America, ditto Mexico, ditto Malaysia, Wild Flowers of somewhere... was it Corsica? India, Turkey, City Guide to Brisbane...
Now they've got kids. One pre-school who keeps calling "Mummy" while the hoover's going upstairs, the other started at primary and a bit more intransigent.
The two charts on the fridge have rows for things like 'Not being rude', 'Keeping my shit together' or words to that effect. A points system leads to various rewards to work for, the eldest seems to have further to go before receiving a Kinder egg.
I wonder if the G's got bored with seeing the World? or maybe they'd seen it all.

Neither, I think.
