Oh No, Mum’s Coming Over!

It is customary in our culture to drop in unannounced. I guess it stems from back in India and Tanzania when everyone lived on each other’s doorsteps so you could always see who was in and pop over for a good old natter.

My family have continued this ‘habit’. We would often get folks popping in to say hello at all times of day because we lived so close to the Wembley shopping area. I think subconsciously Tone and I chose to live away from there after we got married for this exact reason. ‘When do you get any peace?! How do they know you’ll be home?’ he would ask.
