Darrell Finds A Small Gift For Hugh

While Darrell was enjoying the pleasures of Portobello Road he also managed to pop into Poundland for a quick mooch, as its always the place to find the odd box of Maltesers, a Twin Peak or two, or jumbo bag of jelly buttons or foam bananas to enjoy during an evening of televisula viewing. 
He also happened upon some very lovely, large rubber ducks that he was sure Hugh would very much appreciate and there was quite choice .........
....... but it was a white Mother Duck with a crown that particularly took Darrell's fancy as he knew Hugh was very partial to wearing the odd crown and occassional tiara with, it has to be said, great aplombe when the circumstance was right or mood took him 
Said duck was duly purchased as a small thank you to Hugh for so kindly giving Darrell full reign of his London pied de terre, who waited  excitedly waited for Hugh's return from his quiz show summit to present it to him.
Let's just say it was emotional.  Hugh was thrilled beyond belief with his gift and knew exactly where he was going to put it.

Darrell had such exquiste and excellent taste and knew him soooooooo well, sniffed a tearful Hugh and marvelled at where on earth Darrell had found such a lovely, lovely treasure. Mum's the word on that one......  people like as Hugh are often strangers to a poundshop which can only be good for us!
