Happy days

You know how when you don’t have kids, and especially if you go through a period when you’re not sure that it will ever happen, you have these images in your head of what life with your kids will be like?

Having a game of catch late on a sunny Saturday afternoon is another big one for me.

5. The one where she bans Star Wars from the house We were having dinner last night. Spaghetti and garlic bread, a simple and favourite family staple.
