Me: Nell, have you got time for a quick chat?
Nell: No.
Me: But people miss you Nell, and Dave and Harriet.
Nell: Why have you chosen that photo?
Me: I thought it was sweet and it shows how much Dave has grown. He is as big as you and he is only 4 months.
Nell: I was trying to have a quiet moment on your bed away from all the packing when those puppies joined me.
Me: I can see you aren’t happy but Dave looks worried too.
Nell: David knows full well what he did.
Me: What did he do?
Nell: He knows.
Me: Are you all looking forward to Devon? I can’t wait. Just imagine walking along the cliff tops gazing out at the sea with the wind in our hair.
Nell: Have you been watching Poldark again?
Me: No. It’s set in Cornwall anyway.
Nell: Doc Martin then?
Me: That’s Cornwall too.
Nell: The Coroner? It’s set in Hope Cove. Your favourite place.
Me: Stop it.
Nell: You have though, haven’t you?
Me: Not really.
Nell: Wind in our hair. Good grief.
