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!

  1. 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

Sorry we are going to have to add word verification our comments section as it seems we are again being bombarded with spam!!! So if your comment doesn't come up straight away it means that our lady "that does" is going through them with a fine toothcomb, so that the spammers don't get through .....This is such a robust pain in the bottom and as such we have boycotted all SPAM comestibles in protest ..... sandwiches, fritters, fricasse etc.!!!!!!
