Keeping Busy. What is the point of staying home when the kids have fled the nest. I'll get a job for twenty bob and weekends I will rest. I will sweep the streets of London if that is what it takes and when I've done it's home I'll run to bake the kids some cakes. I'll invite them all at weekend I'll offer to make them tea. Then we can chat about this and that and the way things used to be. Then when the weekends over and they've all gone home by train Monday morning soon comes around and it all begins again.

Thanks Jan. Yeah my four flew the nest some years ago now and I love to bake when I know they remember to visit me. They lead such busy lives. I bet he'll love a home made cake it's a lovely idea. hugging you back Trisha xx
