Nigel Makes A Certain Little Lady Very Happy

Nigel took Iris down to the fair on the river bank yesterday afternoon to embrace a glorious and record breakingly hot Bank Holiday Monday……..
IMG_4519……. well, it would have been rude not to.
IMG_4512Iris’s very favourite fairground stall ever since she was a tiny little thing has been the Hook a Duck ………and her first ever prize, a fluffy yellow duck is still a treasured possession.

And, according to Nigel, true to form she spotted the stall from across the field, and then when she saw that it had (Frozen) Elsa’s as prizes that was it (but not in a spoilt way, we don’t allow that) ……… Nigel’s honour as a champion hooker of ducks was truly on the line.

When Nigel asked Iris what colour duck she would like him to hook, she replied “ ….a big pink one”, her favourite colour, with the kind of giggle that couldn’t fail to melt the most frozen of hearts!!!!!IMG_4507Let’s just say Nigel made it look much, much harder than it actually was in order to build up his part and the excitement, to help turn the moment into, hopefully, a special memory for her, …….. what is he like, if not a totally besotted uncle!
Copy of IMG_4511Let’s just say, it was very, very, very emotional as Iris was handed “her” prize, her exact words being “I can sleep with her!”. Nigel was rewarded with an extra sloppy sticky kiss, which he pretended to wipe off in mock horror, but was secretly very touched, bless him.  xxx Happy Days xxx.
