Toby Atkin-Wright

As the days have been getting longer, Beth has been waking up earlier. For most of this week she has padded into our room at about 6.30am. I find that anything that wakes me before 7am is hard to greet with cheeriness.

I think it is time to teach her how to read a clock face; I'll have a look in town at the weekend to see if I can find a nice wall clock for her room, with big readable numbers. Then the process of teaching the 'not before 7am' rule can start.

Mind you, a particularly early morning is ahead of us; Andrew is getting a train at six something (to head down to Yorkshire to see a man about a car), and Kate has volunteered to drive him to Leuchars.

I can plaintively hope for a weekend lie-in.
