My wife and I had always agreed that when we retired, we’d go travelling. We spent many an evening scrolling through maps and making a list of all the far-off places we wanted to explore.

But then our son, rather unexpectedly, got married, and his wife promptly had our first granddaughter. Eighteen months later, they had a second little girl.
