know time speeds up as you get older but this is ridiculous. It feels like only a fortnight ago that we waved off Daughter #2 at her predawn departure from Manchester Airport to Miami for her second six-month stint working on a Caribbean cruise ship, but she's due back home in less than a month.

Last week she WhatsApped us a guided tour of the absolutely massive ship she works on, that cost the thick end of $2billion to build and holds enough passengers to comfortably fill a League One football ground.
