Well Son Is Back At Base

Well son has gone back seemed strange not making him a cuppa this morning but did send a text wishing a good day and got one back straight away wishing me a good one and a little note saying he was missing me too. Lol. Now who is missing who the most he had to do his own bed and breakfast well walk to breakfast shop and back to washing and ironing his own stuff.
