Running late

Having a family is a stressful time. It’s particularly difficult if you’ve laid six eggs and have to incubate them and turn them regularly.

It’s also tricky if you haven’t finished the building work in your nursery yet and you’re expecting them to hatch at any moment. It means a few urgent trips to the DIY shop for building materials.

It’s a problem if you can’t carry very much on each trip.

Because that means multiple trips.

You’ll need a nice bath after all that hard work.

And then a nice scratch.

I look forward to hearing the splish-splosh of tiny feet.
