The family are together and the dog loves it! I collected my son on Saturday from his grandparents and later took him to see my mother. Before then, I had collected our dog who was very happy to see me and ecstatic to see my son, however, she was a bit delicate, which is understandable considering it has been two weeks without us. So she spent Saturday night in our room (my wife and I) keeping me company. She did whimper and woke me up when she trotted downstairs, I presume to check no foxes were trying to break in and kill me, and then woke me up again when she got back.
My wife drove back from France and when she and my daughter arrived, we were all happy that we were back together. As a family, after the two travellers had time to rest, we watched The Summer I Turned Pretty, the third series. I had watched the two before with my son, while my daughter had watched it with my wife.
Needless to say, I ranted a bit. All in the house know I am not a fan of Belly (Jeremiah can do better), but to be fair, as my daughter pointed out, she has been a lot better in this series. Anyway, it is great that we are all back together. The house seems whole again.
