‘Are we nearly there yet?’
It was a question Daisy Moon had heard approximately every twenty minutes
of the three-hour journey from Milton Keynes and she was sure she’d hear it at
least once more before they reached their destination. Drawing on her dwindling
supply of patience, she glanced in the rear-view mirror to meet the bored
expression of her youngest son, Finn, and did her best to smile. ‘Really not long
now.’
A groan of impatience issued from the other side of the back seat. ‘If you
bothered to read the road signs, you wouldn’t have to ask,’ his brother,
Campbell, pointed out, peering over the top of his glasses as though he was a
white-haired professor rather than a ten-year-old. ‘Look, that one says
“Mistlethorpe – one mile”. Big clue, don’t you think?’
Finn rolled his eyes. ‘But we’re not going to Mistlethorpe. We’re going to
Half Moon Farm and who knows how far that is away?’ He screwed his freckled
face up in a mocking grin. ‘Haven’t seen any signs for that, have you, Big Brain?’
The conversation descended into good-natured bickering, as it usually did.
Daisy returned her gaze to the road and wondered, not for the rst time, how
she’d managed to give birth to twins who were absolute polar opposites. Finn
was a rough-and-tumble, sport-loving, permanently grubby child – his blond
hair never sat at against his head, his blue eyes rarely stayed focused on one
thing for long and his clothes spontaneously developed holes, particularly on the
knees. Campbell, by contrast, seemed to have been born middle-aged, despite
only being six minutes older; his hair was meticulously combed against his skull,
his blue-eyed gaze missed nothing behind the glasses he wore to correct a slight
astigmatism and he would not be caught dead playing any kind of sport, not
even on a games console.
Reading was his passion, along with a somewhat
intense fascination with all things historical, and he was often to be found with
his nose between the pages of anything from an encyclopaedia to a rip-roaring
steampunk adventure. Daisy was surprised he’d even spotted the sign for
Mistlethorpe village – she’d barely seen him look up from the book nestled on
his lap. But she’d been concentrating on the twisting, too-narrow country roads
that were a world away from the sensible grid system of Milton Keynes, while
simultaneously grappling with an odd sense of unreality at nding herself
travelling along them after almost twenty years away. Then again, Campbell had
been curious and excited about their new home from the moment she’d broken
the news about the move so she should have known he’d be paying keen
attention now they were near.
