Notext messages,no clothes shops. Just the two of us and the rain.

WHERE does a single mum take her 15 -year-old daughter on holiday - the daughter who runs out of phone credit after week one of her monthly contract, who takes hair-straighteners on Duke of Edinburgh Award field trips, and who often regards her mother as something unpleasant one finds on one's shoe? I could have taken the easy option and gone with her and a friend to a theme park, but I wanted us to have some of that 'quality time' we keep being told we all need, with just the two of us.
