The strawberries may help the chill Auntie :-D :-D :-D

We are on page 93 :-D :-D :-D its a sign :-D :-D

Good evening dears!

Is there football on dears? I had not noticed.

I artfully bought a box set of that naice Mr Thaw in his television programme Inspector Mouse, and I am watching an episode a night. That way, I do not get to watch the free kicks, penalties and whatever else the running boys might be up to.

I did think that something MIGHT be going on, as there seems to be an awful lot of St George's flags fluttering around the place.

Hey ho! We shall soon be going on out jolly outing gels.

Good Evening All.

I trust you are well.

Wouldn't you just believe it when an old gal like me wants to look her best for a state visit she gets an outbreak of eczema on both eyelids...ha ho as is said the show must go on:-D

Lashings of Doublebase being applied as I type...gel that is not a guitar:-)

Exiting humming because I can't sing...The show will go on.

Good evening Ladies.

Now, I think you know what I am about to say. We will be having a State Visit tomorrow from Dignitaries from the Antipodes.

They will grace us with their presence, and we will take high tea together.

I trust we will take great care to wash behind our ears tomorrow, and place a clean hankerchief in our bloomer pockets.

Tis, 17.58 dears, synchonise your watches.

Hello All You Lovely Gentle Ladies.

Just popping in to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed myself today...good company...good weather, lots of laughs and not a dirty ear insight :-D :-D :-D

Lesley x

Yes, I think that all went very well Ladies. We were the height of elegance and good taste.

I really enjoyed myself. The sun shone, and goes to prove that we are righteous.

How naice to see Cherry Crumbles again after all this time. And dear Sheila did herself proud, what a lovely lady.

I shall retire now to the chaise longue, I feel rather fatigued with all the hustle and bustle.

Auntie P.

Ladies such fun we had, and as you mention Auntie the sun does indeed shine on the righteous :-D :-D :-D :-D

I feel that the sun will shine upon those dear folk running the race for life today. Hither down Auntie with your posse for good works are needed supervising first aid, parasoles and refreshments.


orf now to wake the troops, FTE and FTY, the crows have been calling since 5am and woke me from my slumber, tutty tut tut tut. I donot know why they didnot wake the fruits??????

How time flies Ladies...no sooner have the flags and bunting been taken down than it is time to put them up again, as sadly the State Visit is drawing to a close :-(

Auntie Petunia would it be permissible to raise our glasses tomorrow in public...not sure what time though :-S

Walking off with a heavy heart...humming to the tune of We'll Meet Again <3

Ladies...........................the State Visit is over!

As I am of senior status, and I hope you dont mind me saying this, I thought it only right and proper that I wave our two lovely visitors off.

I got Pat-trish-aaaah [oh yes, I forgot to mention, she is back] to wheel out the tuk-tuk and she pedalled like billyo along to the Airport, just in time for us to wave off the big Silver Bird. Do you know, I am sure I saw someone wave back, but it could have been a trick of the light.

Now, we are back to normality, and we will no doubt hear from our visitors in due course.

I trust we are all tickety boo ladies, and when the excitement is over, we shall be back to business.

Toodle
Auntie P

Auntieeee,

the business of the day is to get the tuk tuk over to Brazil and sort that young louis swarez out. The lad has been biting other players, yes dear you did hear correctly, biting!!!!!! Goodness me whatever next. FTY informs me its a normal thing with him. Tutty tut tut tut.

Two poor lads from the Ivory Coast lost a dear brother today. They showed great dignity. Not like that idiot Louis swarez.

Yours in amazement

Teresa

Hello Ladies,

Well, will you ever guess., I have been on a very long journey and met some delightful ladies who showered Mama and I with gifts.. I wish to publicly acknowledge these dear sweet ladies. :-)

I am a little befuddled with all the time zone changes.. my bed will be calling me very shortly. I wouldn't have missed a minute of the last few weeks.

Our weather is awful, tis sooooo cold. :-|. Eye am not amused, not one tiny little bit.... My tiny tan will fade very quickly..

Ladies, I did see the Palace from the sky :-D... Rather a lot of cleaning required to live in such an establishment, beggar that. ;-).

The pup has been visiting, I can see the evidence of muddy footprints upon my floors.... I shall rectify all in the morning - if I can be bothered..

~~~~~~~~ to all, have a very pleasant weekend.

<3 <3

For all our secret peepers out there, we can announce it at last!

Susan and her dear Mama were our visiting dignitaries, and we all took afternoon tea together. It was jolly good fun too!

Now, good afternoon dears. I am sorry you are cold dear Susan, you have been spoilt with our sunshine..................until Today!

The Heavens opened, and we have had a monsoon. What a to do!

As I intimated the other day, Pat-trish-aaaah is back from her holidays with her family. She has returned golden brown, and with her hair sleeked back into a bun. I must say she has lost a bit of weight, and is wearing cotton dresses, as apposed to her alpaca pinafore dresses. She is definitely taken notice of someone. Maybe her cousin on her father's side. The cousin is a pretty little thing called Conchita. She has the look of that naice actress Penelope Cruz about her, and she has flair. I do hope some of it has rubbed off on Pat-trish-aaaaah. We have had allsorts with her over the last couple of years. Punk, Essex, and even Heavy Metal. For a woman of her age she is very easily led!

But, dare I say it, she is almost ladylike, and therefore it seems a great shame that when we went out on the tuk-tuk this morning, she got soaked. A drowned rat came to mind, but of course I did not say so.

However, she seems to have a more defined idea of what she should look like, and came straight home, changed her dress, and dried her hair and fashioned it into a bun again. I am most impressed! I shall be almost ready to show her off at church tomorrow, she looks quite respectable!

I think she is keeping her own Counsel for the time being, and a letter bearing a Spanish stamp arrived this morning. Does this mean that I may be marrying her off at last? One can only hope.

Pip Pip
Auntie P.

Good Evening.

A very long journey indeed Susan and I am pleased to hear it was a safe one...have you warmed up yet, and how is your dear mama?

Ah how nice to have Pat-trish-aaaah back where she belongs Petunia...if she is settled back in the fold can you please ask her to get a move on with finishing the ark...I fear we will all need it soon :-( ;-)

~~~~~~~to Teresa, CC and everyone else that looks in.

Lesley x

Glad you and your Mamma have arived safely Susan :-)

its good weather for ducks Lesley ;-) and the growth of garden weeds :-(


Did you say Conchita Auntie??? There was a young gal on the song for Europe with the very same name :-D :-D :-D the poor thing had a little problem with errr umm, this is a delicate one Auntie, a problem with facial hair :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0
I do hope that Pat rish aaaa wont follow that trend :-0

FTY had the prom tiddly prom. All the Fruits looked very naice and very gentleman and ladylike. There did seem to be a few TOWIE style tans but of course this is the area for them :-D :-D :-D

toodle pip for now

Good evening Ladies, I am sure that dear Susan and her Mama are back in their routines now, after their adventure. They had a jolly time, I am sure.

Indeed gels, Pat-trish-aaaaah is back home with me. She looks far more polished now. That Conchita is a good influence on her I think. She is sleeker and more stylish in her dress. Why, when we ventured to Church on Sunday, she got more than a few admiring glances.

I have found out who sent the letter dears, tis a young man Pat-trish-aaaah met when she was on her extended holiday in Spain. I have contacted Pat-trish-aaaah's Papa, and he assures me he is a suitable young man. He is not after MY money. They formed an 'attachment' whilst over there, but have decided to take their time with their romance.

No Teresa dear, tis not the same Conchita. She was in London on Saturday, singing at the Pride March. I did not see her, as I was in TOWIE county. I ventured to the Rom Ford. It was lovely until I set foot off the train, [first class of course] and it fairly rained all the way to Spain. It bounced back up off the ground. I was most impressed!

I must say it was LOVELY to see you all Ladies, and we have photographic evidence of our meeting. It shows how young and lovely we all are!

Pip Pip
Auntie P.

I'M Backkkkk,

Phew, Ladies I have been bogged down with work all this week..... I did literally shed tears on Monday. I shall blame jet lag and 'I don't wan't to be here'..... It has been a long and tedious week but I have risen above the mess and reign supreme again. Well , in my office anyway.... :-(.

My Mama wishes me to thank you all so very much for a lovely afternoon and for her gifts. She was quite overcome and enjoyed herself immensely.
OH & I shall visit her on Sunday. I have spoken to her today and she seems back in the swing of our time zone. :-).

Petunia, an 'attachment' for Patty.... well, well ,well. I wait with baited breath . When has true love ever ran smoothly.? ;-).

This past week has been miserably cold and wet. Lesley, chuck us the Ark when you have finished with it please. Or maybe you could swing by and pick me up. !!
Honestly, rain, hail, frost - I much prefer Summer. Today the sun shone but I was stuck at my desk for the best part of the day. Needs must dears...

My fruit is blooming, only five weeks to go now. She was most pleased with my shopping efforts... The pup was in disgrace one day this week. She was left alone and 'helped herself' to a baby blanket and promptly chewed it to bits. :-D
She lived to see another day ;-).

I had best go and rescue our dinner from the oven, it smells 'done'.

Have a lovely weekend. Teresa, any pics of the fruits coming through cyber land.?

Susan <3

Goooood evening dear Ladies.

Susan dear, I am so pleased you are back in Upsidedown Land, and back to your Upsidedown time. And your dear Mama too.

It was a pleasure to see your Mama, and I hope you and she are flying the flag, if your know what I mean!

The weekend flew by, and Church once again was a revelation. Our new organist is a proper virtuoso. She plays us in, excells at the Hymns, and plays us out again.

Our New Pat-trish-aaaah is still scrubbed up very well. There has been several complimentary comments by the Church Ladies, and they are all very pleased for her to have found herself a beau. Especially at her time of life, the sands of time and running fast for all of us, but most of hers in the egg-timer are sinking to the bottom.

News today................another letter arrived with a Spanish stamp on it, and Pat-trish-aaaah pounced on it as it plopped onto the mat. She took it upstairs and let out an excited squeal. By jolly, tis a long time since I have had anything to squeal at, But she thumped back down the stairs, and announced that her beau Juan is to visit very soon.

Now I find that very confusing, for her Papa is also called Juan. So her beau will now be called Juan Two [think about it!]

I hope that dear Lesley and Teresa are well, and we will be back to our merry throng chewing the fat very soon.

Toodle
Auntie Petunia

Good upside down evening from a very chilly down under,

Juan two, I got it... ;-). Pat-trish- aaa will be all of a dither until her beau arrives. Oh to be a fly on the wall... Just a teeny one you understand.

I hope you all sang with great gusto on Sunday Petunia.?, The old walls must have been fair creaking with reverberation.... Maybe a hard hat under the pew is called for.?

Teresa, thanks for the cyber pics. Very dapper blokes indeed. The young gal looked very 'done up'. I didn't have such soirees to attend during my school years... Apparently the same was held here and a good time was had by all. the after party left a lot to be desired.. :-|..

Lesley, how does your garden grow?. Are you still having a lovely Summer.? I did hear there has been quite a lot of rain passing through. All to help things grow, Mama and I were very impressed with the 'green-ness ' we saw all around us. I am sure it is a different green to here.. Such pretty countryside.

Parts of the country are to be blasted by high wind and heavy rain in the next few hours. I think we are off the radar but who knows, Mother nature can be a beast.
People in the far north have already lost power. Tis only 5.40pm.

I shall hibernate inside overnight and see what tomorrow brings. Have a lovely day ladies. I hope the sun is shining down on you all.
