With Nigel away enjoying the autumnal pleasures of Bournemouth and surrounding area, his beloved school run is in the very capable hands of Darrell, who he is beginning to see why Nigel loves it so much, not only spending quality fun time with Iris and Bertie ………
……. but also “finding” things.
Yesterday he “found” two very charming and enticing chairs going free.
He was particularly taken with the intricate carvings on the back. Ohhhhh, how he could have transformed with them with a lick of “skimmed milk white” Farrow and Ball chalk paint, a complimentary charity shop fabric remnant and his trusty staple gun, but alas, we have more than enough chairs at The Towers as Bertie sagely reminded him, so with great reluctance Darrell sadly left them where they had found them.
And, in an effort to lift their disappointed Uncle Darrell’s spirits, Iris and Bertie decided to introduce him to “their sacred bumstone” another school run tradition ……. which, after listening to Nigel’s magical tales, they are desperate to turn/rub gold for Christmas ………
…….. so another pair of feet to help rub it along can never really be a bad thing can it? What are they like?

So Darrell is learning all about the delights of the school run/walk. Will Nigel have competition, as to who gets to do the daily double?
So sweet....another, remember when....JantheFan x
