Having them far away has advantages on day to day. But, like in the case of Juliette, it means visits. 
how are the apples? |
If they live that far away, visits are rather rare (my mother lives 1500km and 3 countries away, my mother-in-law 2500km and, 3 or 4 countries away, depending how the plane goes...)

Even if you're girl! I've seen my mother for 5 days this year (and I had to work while she painted the first layer of our bed!). She'll be here another day at the end of september (before we've got the new kitchen, so no complaints that the kitchen isn't spotless
), so she can see the bedroom in its finished state
Now, my rant...
The car has developed a screeching sound, after the brakes have been applied. Now I need to get to the workshop and have the brakes fixed... We can't have that, with the new kitchen on the way, which is sucking the money out of our wallet faster than a black hole sucks the light inside... (but at least the kitchen will be beautiful...)
