Hi there Elsie and Catja.

I used to have a good routine and we would all sit down together for an evening meal most days of the week and up until a few years ago.
Over the last few years this has gone to pot.
Now our 21 year old son is at university in Norwich and our 18 year old daughter is often out and about or around at her boyfriends, we rarely all sit and eat a meal altogether but when we entertain they make an effort to be around and have a friendly and chatty sit down meal.

How I long for the ease of those good old days! Instead now I have to ask OH and daughter each morning if they think they will be in for a meal or out and about.
