WHATS THE TIME MR WOLF. Now I tend to miss out on the morning adventures with Christopher due to being at work – but I always hear about them when I get home for lunch. This particular morning Christopher had gone to wake his dad up from his deep slumber with his usual chirpy “wake up daddy. It morning – look the sunshine!” – half awake, half asleep Nick had agreed and asked him what was the time, expecting him to look at the clock by the bedside and shout out the numbers from the digital display.
But, this was not the case – the bright spark had run off stomp stomp stomp along the landings, then there was some movement noises and a few clink, clink noises before returning back with his trophy ..THE BATHROOM CLOCK ----which is located on top of a cupboard above the toilet. Hmmm…. Think we need to be a bit more detailed in our instructions.
WITH VE DAY, round the corner our little household burst into action and armed to the teeth with gardening equipment we headed to the memorial, which to be honest looked in a bit of a sorry state. The birds had used it for firing practice it would seem and the daffodils had finally beheaded themselves. With Nick armed with the mower, and Christopher on stick duty. I took to the daffodil plants.
I had read somewhere that it was best to tidy the leaves out the way so they could still do their job of giving the bulbs nutrients back –so now the daffodil plants look like top-knots ---tidy, but really only suited to over paid football players. In the background I could hear a little voice say “stick, not a stick, not a stick, stick”. Due to the Village hall already being booked – we plan on celebrating VE day next year. Right- now where did I pack those flags…..
IVH LUNCH. Due to the success of the Village Hall lunches it was decided by the committee it was time to give back to the village---and that is precisely what we are doing this Sunday, May 11, 12-2pm the committee will be serving Sunday Roast with Dessert. £10 per person – it is advisable to pre-book. This can be done by either popping into the village stores and letting them know or emailing Lynda and Anne on lyndawood1066@gmail.com or anne.bauling@gmail.com . There will also be a raffle ----so remember to bring some change. All profits will go to All Saints Church, Iden for much needed restoration.
