Spotted her hubby in the garden the other day with his head in his hands. Looks like he is getting some grief !!
I can guess where it is coming from and the reason - his wife, and the fact she is returning to full time work in September.
This will leave her 2 young kids aged 4 & 2 at nursery school & the inevitable problems of fitting in school runs morning and afternoon with work commitments. The wife next door is a barrister and this involves court appearances. In the past, my wife has helped her out with this sorting kids out - but this can become somewhat of a chore when you are dropped on at the (usually) short notice.
Spotted her coming out of the neighbours house across the road on Saturday - 6 pm. I was waiting for a taxi with my daughter & grandkids. She waved & smiled, I waved back.
I guess she is now scouting for a new neighbour to put on for the times when she is needing help with kids collection etc.
