Nigel Left Absolutely Speechless.

Lovely Rob, our beloved Postman, dropped off a surprise envelope for Nigel this morning …….

…….. the contents of which absolutely floored the little fella. To say that the emotion that ensued was rife, would be a gross miscarriage of justice.

Reading the letter first, we found it was from the very lovely and again much beloved Paula, who had seen our post where Nigel had drooled over the full Highland regalia he’d spotted in the charity shop window on the corner of our road ……..

…… she said it had touched her so much she, and I quote “cobbled something together”. Let’s just say that the tears started even before anything had been unwrapped.

In the first package was a laced vest, just like the original one that had Nigel so filled with romance when he set eyes on it. It was exquisite, but that was only the start of it …….

Next followed a pair of tiny pumps complete with tiny buttons and socks with ribbon garters …… which then had Darrell reaching for the tissues.

There was then a proper, real life jacket, but unbeknownst to us all the best had indeed been left ‘till last, something where, even I, was lost for words ……..

……. a kilt …………

…….. the most perfect kilt that there ever was ……… cue more tissues, robust sniffs and unfettered tearing up! Cobbled together????? My Aunt Fanny!!!!!!!

It took quite a while to compose ourselves, but eventually, an emotionally exhausted Nigel finally managed to get himself changed ……..

…….. only for the floodgates to open again.  Paula, what did you do to us?

We were totally in awe and dumbstruck ……..

…….. you’ve made Nigel’s day, week, month, year, neigh century! He’s already planning on cutting a swathe wearing it on our little sojourn to Weymouth and on the beach on our next Greece Oddity …….. what is he like?

Thank you sooooooooooo much Paula, you may have even topped Santa this year with this present!
