In 2010 Archie accompanied Reservoir Mum to America for one of her conferences while I home-bodied around with eighteen-month-old Tyson and three-year-old Lewis and then in 2014, when Lewis was seven, he got his chance at a one-on-one trip with Mum when she flew to present at a Barcelona FC conference and I stayed home to keep Archie in school, Tyson in kindergarten and three-year-old Maki in my shadow.
