Wilson returns!

This morning Wilson returned from his holiday at the zoo with his Mum, Mrs Vermilingua. 

His first question was about visitor numbers on National Museums Day — and I had to admit that admissions had been low. Lower than expected, anyway.

When he asked me exactly how low I was forced to concede that there had been no visitors whatever. Fewer than one. None. Zero.

His face fell, but he philosophically admitted that 'It's always the big museums that soak up the visitors — the British Museums and the V&As of the world — while small family-run enterprises suffer!'

Then he added as an afterthought that he blamed himself for leaving me in charge when I clearly wasn't up to the challenge!
