One Of Many Considered Purchases To Be Made

I feel I need to apologise, just a tad, if in the coming few weeks our posts seem to be leaning heavily towards our rootling about in some of Evesham’s finest charity shop establishments ……… there’s no getting away from it, they are!  It’s now officially the festive season, December being our favourite month of the year and amongst all its many wonderful pleasures there are presents that need the considered purchasing of, please bear with us.

So, without further ado ……. yesterday, Nigel managed to find the most prefect present for Hugh, Darrell’s best friend and mentor of all things tut but kitsch. I mean, who wouldn’t want to find  this exquisite, handmade, crocheted and knitted combo, crinoline lady mouse, toilet roll holder in their stocking?

Admittedly, her whiskers are currently on the droopy side, giving her top lip a slightly dark and hirsute type appearance, but it’s nothing that can’t be easily fixed with a quick zzhuh of Darrell’s spray starch!  And, at just 50p it would have been, well, rude and remiss not to bring it home to be wrapped with care and love!

I predict that Hugh’s immediate reaction on opening Nigel’s present on Christmas morning will be emotional, very emotional, very, very emotional, followed by, when composed, much deliberation as to which bathroom it should be put in prime position, for all to share in all its glory.  Ooooooooooooo happy, happy days!!!!!!

When I was young, my gran and grandad had one of these, to hide the spare roll. Tut and kitsch, indeed.
