Seeing my daughter, that is. She'd made impromptu plans yesterday to take a day trip to London today (the first fruits of my having managed to keep her travel concessions alive), something she has done before, albeit to catch up with friends rather than to visit me, but I received a text fairly early this morning to say that she'd overslept, and, not being able to catch the first service from Plymouth, had scrapped the trip because any later journey wouldn't have left her enough time up here to make it worthwhile. I will definitely see her next weekend, though, when I head west to see her Stagecoach swansong, and I may, now, see her in the school holidays, too. Only because cute boyfriend has other plans for the first half of the week she was planning to visit him, though, around the band he's in. It might even be a two day visit, although another of her friends, who lives in Surrey, may be an alternative destination for one of those days. I'm grateful for the crumbs from her table, anyway!

She sounds so normal! Over here, a girl of her age traveling about the country on her own, to visit friends, would likely bring down social services on such girl's parents. It's so nice to hear, that although you might not get as much face time, she is capable of doing all this on her own! That's a mark of good parenting, Dad! Enjoy those crumbs. I see only CAKE!

Hello Jay
DeleteAs I've doubtless said before, K is a mature and sensible young woman, and more than capable of making the trips that she does. If the authorities can't tell the difference between neglectful irresponsibility and encouragement of self-reliance and independence, it's a sad situation. And as far as time together with my girl, I'll take whatever's going!
Love & best wishes
