Wonka - thanks for the book suggestion, which I have had a first poke at. It proposes to ask your teenager how you can be a better parent: "... what would make our relationship better?". I think I'll do just that - ask. Maybe just asking will build a bit more intimacy.
Further developments: we have new frying pans in the kitchen - not quite sure what that means, but I was surprised how hurt I felt when I saw them (is W already moving out?).
W gone someplace yesterday while I slept off some jet lag. I didn't ask where she had been, which would have hardly been easy as we exchanged maybe 20 words during the day.
