Being empty nesters isn’t all peering into the gaping void of your soul, horrified by the emptiness and sheer futility of life now your children have grown and flown. Occasionally, it does have its upsides.
Now, you can do what you want whenever you like. No pick-ups, no drop-offs, no clubs, no sleepovers, no school runs and your evenings and weekends are yours and yours alone. Last Friday night me and the boss had a rare chippy tea and settled down for an evening of culture at The Dukes in Lancaster to watch Andrew “Sexy Priest from Fleabag” Scott in the National Theatre’s one-man production of Vanya, a screened performance of a version of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya.
All that was missing was a bill for €20 for two modest glasses of pretty ordinary wine while gawping at an extraordinary sunset from a Fira clifftop bar. And because we don’t have little kids waking up at stupid o’clock anymore, I slept like a baby on Sunday until 11am. I can’t remember a time when I slept so late. I’m going for 1992.
