An empty house!
An empty house!

Sidey asked the question, What makes you happy?
My immediate response was, of course, my family.
You thought I was going to say Maltesers, didn’t you?
That was second on my list.
After the week I’ve had, I realise that happiness is relative. Or, in this case, happiness is the absence of relatives. And of son’s friends.
I love having a full house, I do; I love visitors and entertaining and making people feel welcome.
But I also love the feeling afterwards, when all that is left is a pile of dishes and a carpet that needs vacuuming.
Spud’s friends left with full tummies, big smiles and enthusiastic thank yous.
Brother left with tummy, smile and thank you (he’s a lot older).
Now all I have to do is find Tory Boy a room in Peterborough; pack Spud off to university in two years’ time; and build a shed for the Hub.
My future happiness depends on it.
