My grandkids like books, and now they’re old enough to read. During the school holidays, Susie and Nell spent a night at our place.

They quite often stay overnight, but it is still not quite like home, so I always tell them, “When you wake up, no matter how early, you can come and wake us”. Then we go to bed, prepared to be woken at dawn. That’s the way it has been since they were toddlers.
