Nell: You’re late for our conversation today.
Me: I was chatting to Alice and Jonathan and forgot the time. Faye’s still asleep.
Nell: It must be lovely to be surrounded by family again.
Me: It is. It was so exciting when the train pulled in and Jonathan and Faye ran along the platform into my arms.
Nell: Many’s the time I’ve been to the station with you to collect them.
Me: Yes. They were tired from the journey but still jumped straight into the paddling pool when we got home.
Nell: You’re very happy.
Me: It’s wonderful having them here.
Nell: I wish I could be there with you.
Me: We miss you, Nell. But you’re in our thoughts.
Nell: I know. Is that Faye with Nigel?
Me: Yes. He was very pleased to see her.
Nell: Nigel is a guest. Faye should be cuddling David and Harriet.
Me: She is. Don’t worry. There are plenty of cuddles for everyone.
Nell: What are your plans today?
Me: Breakfast then Sunday Songs and a Sunday roast at the pub in the garden.
Nell: I’m afraid the Weather Guardians say it’s going to be rather cool and cloudy.
Me: Yes, we even had rain earlier.
Nell: Will Jonathan and Faye be singing at Sunday Songs?
Me: I’m not sure. They might be a little too tired.
Nell: Children are never too tired to sing.
Me: They might dance with the llamas.
Nell: You can be too tired to dance.
Me: You’re right.
Nell: Unless you’re a llama.
Me: Whatever happens it’s going to be a lovely Sunday.
Nell: So, go and enjoy yourself and stop chatting to me.
Me: I like chatting to you.
Nell: You can chat to me any time. Off you go. The family are waiting.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
