Nigel’s First Festive Find …….

With Darrell currently flouncy round The Towers in full festive décor mode, what did Nigel stumble across on the school run to make his little heart go pitter patter?  Only the most perfect fire surround of his yuletide dreams!

Obviously, a bijoux flat such as ours  doesn’t have a chimney, something, at this time of year, since we left The Homeland, Nigel  has missed greatly, but with Darrell’s, flair for design, he could surely create a facsimile of the perfect fireside scene, that the little fella could almost imagine Father Christmas coming down, couldn’t he? Nigel could already see it in situ under the mirror in our lounge area.

Let’s just say, after several pictures were taken and long, beseeching texts exchanged between the two of them, Darrell sadly had to let Nigel down as gently as he could. It was indeed a wonderful idea and yes, he too could see it in his designer’s minds eye, but what would we do with it afterwards, there isn’t a single inch in The Towers left for any sort of storage, as Mr D is oft to point out!

Oh well, he thought, he’d tried, The Towers would still look every bit as magical under Darrell’s expert watch …….. and Santa’s Magic Key would once again be carefully put in Nigel’s “secret place” for the big man himself to find on the night  …… so still ……… happy decorative days!

Great find, Nigel! A shame that you couldn't fit it anywhere. I think you need something like a TARDIS for a storage cupboard, so you can fit everything in.

A Christmas treat for someone there - a kind deed you have done leaving it, look at it that way young Nige. JantheFan x
