I have to admit that the X Factor Boot Camp fever that seems to have permeated any semblance of normal life at The Towers since Darrell found out that he’d got two tickets for Saturday’s show has rather got to me, so I suggested that, perhaps, he would like to take himself out for a little fresh air and put aside, for a little while, all speculation on how low Simon would have his shirt unbuttoned to on said day, before I hit the Christmas Advocat, even if it wasn’t drinkable anymore, despite it being kept in the fridge!
I have to say he went quite willingly and in turn stumbled upon a small stall outside one of the houses along his route that was selling plants, vegetables, jams and marmalade for charity, and well, it would have been rude of him not to have a little mooch ……
……. if only to see what the opposition was like if his own planned humble jam making turned out to be as successful as he hoped ….. ripening blackberries and plums willing!
In the end he availed himself of a jar each of Seville marmalade and a mixed berry jam, putting his money in an envelope provided through the letterbox. And, on his return, he promised that over breakfast tomorrow morning, he would initiate a conversation around to our new sweet spreading comestibles, rather than wondering if Louis would be mentoring the bands again this year, what is he like????!!! Heaven help me!
The mixed berry jam sounds great. A good and trustworthy way for payments is nice to see, too.
ReplyDeleteDistraction isn't easy when faced with such a dream come true life event.....that little amble was the perfect answer with something as delicious as the marmalade icing on the cake!.....Love, Dianne
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the little stall outside the house - what a good idea. Hoping the plan to dampen down the Bootcamp fever works - for a little while anyway - but the anticipation of the event is all rather exciting I have to say! JantheFan x
