As we let ourselves in through the outer door we could see two police officers through the inner glass door talking to three members of staff, one of whom I recognized as the manager. Mr and Mrs Bennett were also there. Once we’d signed in and were admitted, I heard the manager thanking the police officers for returning them. I guessed she was referring to Mr and Mrs Bennett. In the lounge, I soon learnt that they had slipped out when the door had been left open during a delivery of catering supplies. Thankfully their absence had been noticed as soon as the lorry had left and the police had been called. They were found just ten minutes away, but the care home’s security was being reviewed, as clearly they and the other residents were highly vulnerable and could easily come to harm out alone. Having said that, you have to admire their persistence.
I hadn’t booked for us to go away during the school summer holidays, but we had plenty of days out, including trips to the coast, theme parks, the zoo and other places of interest that suited everyone. My children were growing up quickly and I knew it wouldn’t be long before they didn’t all want to come on every family outing, so I was making the most of it while they did. Adrian and Paula also saw their father. Lucy saw her birth mother very occasionally. She phoned if she was in the area, but we hadn’t heard from her for a while. Lucy had grown used to this and, although she loved her, she accepted her mother’s shortcomings.
Neave telephoned in respect of Melody’s next review, which was due in August. The previous two reviews had been held at Melody’s school but the school was closed for the summer holidays, so Neave asked if it could be held at my house – reviews are sometimes held in the foster carer’s home. I said that was fine and Melody could play in another part of the house until it was her turn to speak. Then, almost as an afterthought, Neave added, ‘The family-finding team think they may have found a good match. I’m going with them to meet the woman at the start of September. She’s away on holiday at present.’
‘Oh, really?’
‘Nothing is definite yet, so please don’t say anything to Melody.’
‘No, of course not. Who is she?’
