"I WILL have my Darlings with me, how could I leave them?" I ranted as I entered my room. "Glenfiddich, I need you, NOW!"

Coral and Miw looked at me, in their cute way.

"Yes Darlings, Mummy is taking you on holiday! Now I had best get that Stupid Scottish Girl to pack your essentials."

I looked at the chaos strewn across the room and wondered why on earth we all had to go away.

Coral and Miw were playing at my feet. I wish we could just stay here in Rome.
