"There were always piles of everything. A giant flowery plastic washing bin full of odd socks, which were mostly white and never paired. Great stacks of cereal packets that I had to cart out from the kitchen to the big dining table every morning, because I was usually one of the first up and always ended up laying the table, I always wanted to be on time and the little ones were very often late for school. Which meant we got the bus and they got a lift in Alison Portsmouth’s purple van, Belinda."
