Some of you, like me, will have taken a child to university these past few weeks. I never went to university (shock horror), so this is a new chapter for my family. For her last Sunday dinner en famille, I asked my eldest what she wanted as a dessert; she chose chocolate mousse. For years, when my children were smaller, this was a regular at the Sunday lunch table. We’d distract my youngest and steal her chocolate mousse and all pretend we didn’t know where it was, and we did exactly this again in a small, bittersweet moment.
