DOUBLE TROUBLE FOR A FIRST TIME DAD OF TWINS

"The headmaster will give you a ring and discuss a visit with you," the school administration assistant said to me over the phone.

"If he's not too busy, that would be amazing," I said - a little too enthusiastically.

Surprisingly to me, he did ring. I always assume when told someone will ring me, they won't, unless it's something to do with loft insulation, double glazing or a loan - then you can guarantee they will call you for the rest of existence.

The headmaster was very personable, yet professional, and I agreed with all he said and praised his vision for the education of children in the school we'd earmarked for the twins.
