I feel abandoned.
OK, I have one grandson studying in Oxford, and another studying in Hertfordshire, but otherwise it's just me who's representing the Magnons in the UK. All the others are overseas.
Kimbo and Susie are in Egypt, Lady M, Wills, Boo Boo, and The Cherub are in Thailand, my daughter Tenpin is in Oz with her two boys, and my sister is in NZ; leaving just me to hold the fort, here in our ancestral home of England.
Like many families these days, we do tend to spread our wings. Even I (the stay-at-home-lad) have managed to live more than half my life abroad; even though it was not far away in Southern France. I quite expect that very few families have all the members 'at home' these days.
So, I've been making sure I descend the stairs carefully, cross the road cautiously, and do not pour boiling water over my feet. I don't want to be found having 'passed-away' without anyone knowing.
Lady M has been away for over a week, but will be home in a couple of days!

Glad to hear Lady M is able to get home in spite of the war.
Talk about an international family! And you have 2 grandsons at University in Britain! It must be lovely to know they're near, even if you don't see them very often. Kids that age have a life of their own. I know that mine do.
My family is widespread but not as much as yours.
Do behave yourself. You need one of those things you hang around your neck and press the button in case of emergency.
So Kimbo did get to Egypt. Hope they're enjoying themselves.
