At their last visit in August we were told that my wife's London-based son and family would be coming here in October. This week he rang to say that he will not be coming to see her at half-term as we expected as he (or possibly they) will be going to the USA. I am relieved on my part as he is just a major source of unwanted stress but annoyed for my wife that this year he has been able to find just 2 hours to spend with his mother.
