Domestic

Well, our nanny and I have finally had ‘The Talk’ : “We think it might be time to start thinking about cutting down your hours”. N has been fabulous for our family, a real treasure. She’s like an idealized grandmother, far more useful than any of our actual parents were. Over the years she’s gradually morphed into more of a housekeeper, but she’s still been someone who’s always around for the girls to talk to.  Still, now that our youngest are about to go to university, it’s getting harder to justify a full time nanny – especially as she’s nearing eighty. Although, we do have three dogs – and they are quite high maintenance.
