Presents From Foreign Climes

We know it’s daft, but going away, just wouldn’t be going away without taking back just a little bit of local tut!

However, as The Towers is bijoux there has to be a limit to the amount of tut we can now accommodate, so a handy “Rule of Tut” is that it should generally be something we can eat, drink or use in the bath or shower …….. Darrell’s obligatory stick of seaside rock fitting the remit perfectly.

But I know that Darrell had set his heart on a kitsch seagull ornament for his bedroom, as he had already mooted a considered purchase before he even got to Bude ……….which brings in another Towers rule ….. one thing in, one thing out, so when he gets home Darrell will need to find something for the charity shop!

Nigel, in his great wisdom, in order to save any bother and controversy when he got home decided that he might as well have his “eat” type tut there and then …….. in the form of a double scoop of candy floss and bubble gum ice cream ……. what is he like?

I like your "Rule of Tut." (This sounds like what Tutankhamun did in Egypt - Mrs. D and I went in his tomb a few years back.)

I'm with Nigel. One must always eat ice cream on holiday. In Bude, it would have to be Cornish ice cream, with lots of cream.

I wonder if folk realise just how adorable little Nigel is in real life? So cute, small and yet a tough little cookie - or should that be ice cream rather than cookie?

Love

Nigel knows best.......an ice cream in hand can be far better than a "dust catcher"!...but then Darrell does have the decorator's eye and must have a perfect vignette in mind for the seagull ....AAHH, TUT does bring back memories of the Christmas tut bag full of goodies!...Love, Dianne
