OMG ……yesterday, while out shopping, ostensibly for a cabbage, red onions and carrots to make a coleslaw for tea, Darrell just happened veered off his scheduled route ……. and then found something that made his heart beat at a million miles per second ………
………. forcing all thoughts of a said coleslaw momentarily right out of his head …….
…….. to an overwhelming passion …………
…….. something he’d only ever dreamed about since Hugh, his best friend and mentor of all things on trend and beyond, showed him some of his old publicity shots from his early days in showbiz, posing glamorously, a la Elizabeth Taylor style and now, here in real life, was the chair that had soooooo captured his imagination, in the actual fresh, for the princely some of just £80! Oh be still his aching heart!
Then, sadly, reality was forced to kick in as he stood in the shop like a deer caught in headlights of a car, mentally going from room to room in The Towers visualising where it could go. Yes, back at Castle Greyskull there were several corners it would have fit perfectly, but in the bijoux Towers ……. not a flipping chance!
Poor Darrell, was heartbroken, but resolute, he sighed that at least he’d been blessed with the chance to see and touch something he’d had such a long felt want for, it was indeed a thing of great beauty and did not disappoint …….. perhaps…….. in another life!

It's sometimes sad when we can't always have what we want, what we really, really want - but seeing one is 'real life' is the next best thing I guess. JantheFan x
Oh, dear. Never mind. Darrell will be dreaming of Marc Bolan, Morticia Addams and wicker chairs.
