"So my dears, do you think I have a talent for this art lark?"

No wonder they didn't sell well. Very difficult to wrap

Always sad to see a space hopper in captivity

I drive past a dog training field where the obstacles are swamped by water after days of rain. Three half-submerged tractor tyres are doing a very convincing Nessie impression

A tsk tsk and I wasn't even trying 😆

Douglas had instructed the maid to polish the floor to a mirror shine. He waited patiently for a young lady to come into range and hoped for a glimpse of bloomer.

Thanks for that fabulous blast from the past! That's my earworm sorted for the day 😄

More winter magic. Rain, but with the occasional dry snowflake. How do they manage not to get wet on the way down?

Well I did wonder... 🤔

A glass bowl full of brightly coloured liquorice allsort sweets

Jeff, are you sure it's not a liquorice allsort?

Josephine had put her right leg in and her right leg out several times, but was definitely not going to shake it all about unless that fun sponge Edgar joined in.
