An older badger meets a young cat on her usual trek up the mountain and they start a friendship, which leads to many more visits, until badger starts to become too old and tired for visits up the mountain and cat has to go alone… A tender ‘circle of life’ story. We see the transformation take place before our very eyes, and for a fleeting moment of ecstasy, we see the love of God in its purest form.

I guess I just want everyone to consider whether you need to push your child onto the next level, the older thing, the more grown up thing… or let them decide when they are ready? I’m usually worried about parking, distance to a toilet, their stamina for walking distances… some of this can be planned for, but general whining or dislike of the place can (and too often does) come out of the blue. Her charismatic and unique characteristics and personality almost stole the spotlight from Gemma herself.

I’m not sure I subscribed to the “when you know, you know” school of things before this (for houses). Audrey never really asks for much (unlike Rex who wants every toy he’s ever seen) and at the moment she is really enjoying her baby doll again, being a mummy, reading her stories and giving her milk. I asked Rex if he could remind his sister she could do it (I’ve no idea if he needed to do this) and I left Audrey as she weakly gave me a little thumbs up and a forced smile.

It doesn’t tackle death directly, but introduces the concept of things going away and it is lovely and funny with tracing paper pages to make things appear and disappear. Be prepared to laugh, dream and hope with Audrey as she learns that even when you feel like you have lost yourself, love can still find you . Perhaps a little bit more abstract for small children (but my two do like it), but then Oliver Jeffers simply knows what he is doing with children’s books. It’s easy to keep a poker face when you’re wearing dark glasses and a hoodie and you’re looking off to one side.And the obstacles will increase as she gets older (for example, when Rex is a teenager, there will be no need for “childcare”, but can the same be said of Audrey in her teenage years? During his adolescence, Logan became increasingly aware of his own homosexuality and of his unease as a flamboyant personality in a small industrial town. One of my friends said she wasn’t into them anymore, everyone agreed and so that was that, I got home that day and packed mine away. Children’s areas: The kids were most happy in the circus skills area, with lots to play with and space to run around, they also enjoyed the big top (a small tent) at the back.

After Fyffe’s death, Logan retired from showbusiness to run a bed and breakfast in France with his partner Louie.So there you have it, I guess some might think we did it by halves, but although we often throw Audrey into situations where we are unsure if she’ll enjoy it, we also do play it safe when needed. We binged property shows, created pinterest boards, discussed nothing more than renovations and the big garden that awaited us… it felt too good to be true. When that ended I got on a waiting list for a dance class (which never came to anything) and scoped around looking for another fit.

The South Lanarkshire-born comedian appeared for royalty as part of the double act, performing during two Royal Variety shows. Lockdown was certainly a time where we all realised that we could survive (just about) without having places to go or things “booked in”, suddenly we just had to make do with local outdoor space, our own company and home activities.I guess I would normally be talking about how far we’ve come since the surprise diagnosis postnatally. The only difference would be bunches of flowers and boxes of chocolates for Mum (she liked colourful arrangements and the smell of freesias, walnut whips and cards with ridiculous cheesy poems in). Mum and Dad are out for the day with friends at some garden show and they’ve taken Frank with them to “broaden his horizons,” so they have no idea I’m doing this. She liked it and she stuck with it (all the other girls from her class decided not to continue) and over a year since classes could take place, she has just performed in her first show.
