bits and bobs

Arboretum at Tatton
Conversation with a 7 year old boy in my intervention group last week.
"Miss, do you know Asda in Shaw?"
"Yes"
"Well if you go down the first aisle, they have these things that are really nice"
"Oh really what are they called?"
" I don't know, they are like coconuts"
I think for a few moments.
" Are they small, about this size, do you mean kiwi fruits?"

"No.......I remember now they are called Scotch Eggs!"

The Fernery, Tatton
While I was at Grease yesterday, Hubby went to a school reunion, which meant we had two house guests staying last night.

Hubby forgot to show them how to work the shower and we giggled in bed as we heard one of them this morning taking a cold shower with water hardly dribbling out of the shower head!

We had a late night, and an early start (getting guests to the train station....oh and rugby on the TV) so we have had a very lazy afternoon. I have not made a magazine cover for a while, as you can see the price is still the same...well worth the money!

It has also not stopped raining ALL day and is quite miserable. I should be doing some crafting but can only manage a bit of crochet in front of the TV looking forward to Downton later on.
Lucy is not very lady-like when washing her tummy.......

and especially when she sits in her bowl to do it!

  2. Everybody knows that coconuts look like scotch eggs!!!Lucy looks very cute washing her belly. Did you see the squirrel on the Great British Bake Off by the way? I don't think Mary Berry would approve! x
