Stick to your guns, parents have a right and responsibility to embarrass their teenagers. And the seagull weather indicator is a thing for sure.

Great post!

Please let out your whoops. If years of prizegivings have taught me anything, the teenager secretly loves it. Ditto to chatting to “randoms”, an underrated life skill which needs to be passed down, in my humble opinion. Brilliant writing as always, Leah xx

In London, my granddaughters’ sweet hall in their Halloween buckets included dragon fruit!

Thanks for the news from Wellington.

I talk to strangers all the time - my mantra is "I'll talk to anyone, if they don't want to talk to me I'll go and annoy someone else!" Don't give it up!

Prob good I don’t have children because I also talk to “randoms”! How else do you get good stories? 🤣🤪 humans are fascinating (even when they aren’t)!
