I just had a call from the mother of one of William's school-friends; the school phoned her to ask where her son was as he hadn't arrived at school - that must rank pretty high on the list of worst things a parent can hear. What makes it worse is that he is a level-headed, reliable kid who wouldn't just go wandering off somewhere.
I have had that feeling a couple of times - not being able to find your child - when Nicky was little and again with Biddy. It causes a complete irrational panic, releases goodness knows what hormones into your bloodstream and makes you search around frantically until you find the child. Paradoxically, from the joy of finding them again you also give them a good shouting at for getting lost!
I hope this turns out well...
LATER...
Everything is ok! I don't know exactly what happened but it all seems to have been a series of misunderstandings...! Phew, thank goodness for that...

In the past I looked in ditches at the side of the road for Olivier's bike and body. His friend's mother was going to give him a lift home as it was getting dark, but they forgot to tell us.
The only compensation is that they'll probably go through the same with their children...
