Patsy reads 'Miss Thompson goes shopping' |
Patsy battled gamely through the noise of the drums, re-telling the Martin Armstrong's
story of 'Miss Thompson goes shopping'. It tells of a shopping trip in the days before supermarkets, detailing the characterful shops and shop-keepers and an irresistible impulse buy. A wonderful poem.
Favoutie Things - Red Hat style. |
Red Hat Queen, Pam, came to my rescue as this year we were all given a Cristmas card with a number. Secret Santa gift no 32 was swiftly produced just in time, after I'd eaten a few sandwiches, quiche, pork pie and druk a glass of 0% alcohol pink fizz. Mince pies were thrust into my bag and I made my way across the darkening street to where MWNN was waiting beside the now-empty Farmers' Market stalls.
Now I'm in the mood for some real Pink Fizz - is it time yet?
