HRH the Queen Mother flies out and it was an arduous process. Having spend the whole weekend in bed, despite this being her treat and bloody expensivce to boot. I must admit to being slightly peeved and caused a bit of an argument, leaving HRH to storm off in a huff. Lady of leisure and the kids made a hasty retreat across the island to collect Mother and Father of Leisure who arrive in Kingston at approximately the same time as HRH departs Mo’bay.

There was plenty of time for harsh words to be retracted before she left and dutifully I retracted them all, meant or not. She told me how much she enjoyed the holiday, though I don’t see how. That must have been the times I was at work, but any other time she was either in bed or scowling at my temerity at asking her to look after her grandchildren.

There was of course also plenty of time for floods of tears before boarding the flight, because as we know, premium transatlantic flights on the upper deck of a 747 are such a hardship.
