‘Please can I cycle to Kindi, pleeeease?!’ Sophie pleaded, jumping up and down with her boundless energy.

Charlotte, home with a virus, smiled happily for her sister and Mummy, also not A1, looked on in awe at Sophie’s energy and thought quietly, ‘That’ll hopefully tire her out. As much as I admire that girls enthusiasm, I’ll be glad of a peaceful morning with Charlotte and Alice.’
