My middle daughter Bliss has not had a proper holiday for five years. She is a great traveller but two small children (and lockdown) has meant she has been pretty stuck. It was my dream to take them away before her oldest, four-year-old Elliott, starts school and they become trapped by the school holidays. Ivy, her little girl, is two.
As they live in south London and we live north, my eldest quipped, “They are lost to us now”. Not true, but I don’t spend as much time with my grandkids as I would like.
