I'd like to go to the place in Margate although it is a long way and I don't know when I will have time to go.

Rent a granny is a great idea. when my kids were little & the grannies lived far away I would have happily rented one to bake cakes with them something I hated !

When asked what he did for a living, Eric said, "I play the guitar" Husband asked if he was in a band & he answered, "This is me playing" Which it was & the penny dropped.
