All alone am I
My wife Vee left home today to travel down to her twin sister Mari. Tomorrow the two of them set off to drive to the Czech Republic (I know!).
They are going over there to take part in various events to mark the 50th anniversary of the death of their father Karel Kuttelwascher. He was a night fighter ace with the Royal Air Force in the Second World War and in 1985 I wrote his biography “Night Hawk”.
Vee will be away for 11 days in all – the longest that I think we’ve ever been apart since we married 27 years ago. But, of course, I’m not totally alone. I have our cat Honey and I’ve suddenly become her new best friend.

Now you will eat too many cakes and desserts.
Behave yourself and make sure the place is spic and span for when Vee comes back.

Yes, miss!
