Renaissance?

Samantha approached me and offered to pay the monthly insurance premium for her new mobile telephone, Joshua has offered to pay weekly instalments from his pocket money for 50% of the cost of his replacement gum shield. It would appear that the children are maturing and becoming fine young adults.
In the next week or two Sam's provisional license will be here and then the fun begins in earnest.
I'm looking forward to the first late night tipsy phone call; "Sam it's your Dad/Mum, can you come and pick me up?"

Sam has started to produce 'sock animals', tutoring the Brownies over a couple of evenings is planned whilst hopefully making me a 'Cheshie Cat' one at the same time.
