It was quiet, too quiet. The boys were up in their room, playing peacefully. As usual, they were building a fort in and under Benjamin’s bed. But when I went upstairs…

There was a time when my dad didn’t know what to get me for birthday and Christmas. I was living overseas, so small packages were essential. And I was a Business Consultant, suits and all. So he settled on Hermes scarves. I have quite a collection that I really haven’t used in… hmmm… the past 10 years or so.

Anyway, it was quite refreshing to see my scarves again – as walls for Benjamin’s and Christopher’s fort!
