And So …… The Pester Power Begins ……

Oh dear …….

…. if only there was a way of keeping Nigel “inside” at this time of year ….

…… not in any nefarious, hostage taking situation type way, just away from all the current festive retail persuadement,  because, although Darrell has carefully curated our décor for this year, Nigel is still pestering him to turn The Towers into a veritable Gingerbread Flat, just this once ……..if not this year ……. then perhaps next …..

……and, as such he’s more than happy to buy a few bits and pieces to put away for now, “ …… because, you know, prices are bound to go up for next year!” I mean, who wouldn’t want a kitsch, pink, plush Rudolph, or a large, monkey sized, candy cane sleigh gracing their festive portals …..

…….. let alone a vintage,Christmas steam engine, with, Nigel says, his name written all over it!

Sadly, it has to be a robust, but gentle let down from Darrell and I, unfortunately The Towers isn’t as Tardis like as the little fella would like it to be …….

…… we are more than seasonally crammed for most of the year as it is, without adding anything else ……… two, slightly partied out elves could quite seriously push us over the edge!  Not so happy days, for Nigel….. at least!

Oh some lovely items there - I'm loving the train. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a small Christmas train and track running round the living room floor - now that would special. I'm with Nige on this one! Little fella looks good in that train. JantheFan x

Hope springs eternal for poor Nigel. Never mind, young man. Ever the optimist.

P.S. You caught me in my underwears, I sorry, unawares, posting on Saturday and Sunday. You rascal.
