@littlemavis.bsky.social thank you so much for sharing the link to Wombat’s funeral (it doesn’t feel quite right to call him Michael after all these years). It was so lovely to hear the story of his life and your love for each other, and some of his oh so appropriate words. Much love to you all xx

Ah thank you Mary xx

Oh Mary. Much love to you and the family. He was much loved and will be much missed xx

Ah thank you 😊 we have fun exchanging!

Day 20: #Advent2025

Well. Only yesterday I was - as @mrjamesob.bsky.social might say - whanging on about these very pickles! I did wonder why TG wasn’t reacting to my hints 🤣
Now my favourite gift - #TYVMTG 😘

Just a reminder for all my social media customers - use XMAS50 at checkout for half price anything and everything - link in bio x

Days 12, 13 and 14: #Advent2025

All very lovely! #TYTG 😘😘😘

Where does the time go - I need to post this to reduce stress all round! Please don’t leave it too late as we’re all in the hands of Royal Mail! These are their dates but I’d really err on side of caution if I were you!
Local delivery to TA1/TA2 is possible up to 23 Dec but website closes 22 Dec!

Hope they have helped to pass the time. And hope Michael is calmer now xx

He and his mum and granny were v chuffed with that response! Thank you xx

Evening Mary. Oh frustrating - unless you have enough space to download iPlayer I guess? Or have you opted for the pub? Much love to you both xx

After my kettle mishap last weekend my 8 year old great-nephew Joseph was most concerned for my well-being (see attached WhatsApp exchange) and followed up with a get well message 😊

I feel much better now - and I think everyone should #bemoreJoseph - do you agree??

Day 11: #Advent2025

Oooh I loves this, as well you know! #TYTG 😘

😊 maybe!

Morning gorgeous xx

Good morning to you both xx

#CirleofLoveForWombie

I’m in. Friends for ages on Twitter when it was lovely, he brought so many good people into my life along with his decidedly dodgy sense of humour, #GoodBoyBen and a shared love of punning business names. Lots of love to you Wombie xx

@wombat37.bsky.social in Honiton earlier - always always think of you with the punning shop names. Much love xx

Day 3: #Advent2025

A classic! #TYTG for my festive socks 😘

Until further notice 🙄 - that’s the salient detail I forgot to mention.

Half price everything even sale items for the foreseeable 😊

Day 2: #Advent2025

Ahhhhh nice - a non-trad tradition, going a bit off-piste there #TYTG 😘

It’s started!
Day 1: #Advent2025

And it’s a strong start from @TauntonGardener: love the idea of 10 min dishes at this time of year but also v glad I do generally have more time to cook these days #TYTG 😘

(This was a tradition (begun on Twitter in the good old days) and everything under a fiver!)

Roll on 7pm I say!

My gift to you this festive season is that all remaining stock is now half price - just use the code XMAS50 at checkout and Bob’s your father’s brother! Or indeed your mother’s 🤣

Happy shopping x

(But yes - there is no escape unless you decamp to TT 🤣)
