And WHAT is Robert Alexander playing at here?

Hiya Everyone
It has been so cold in the UK the last couple or so weeks......the ground has been quite hard and icy. It is thankfully a bit better now and all the snow has virtually gone...........................perfect weather to play...............well.......FOOTBALL!

I was hunting in my "tub of bits" (in reality an old margarine tub minus the lid lost ages ago!)  alias the less precious St. Hils props when I came across a prop that has not been used for ages........in fact I can't remember WHEN it was employed.  Guess what it was............a football of course and it belongs to none other than......Robert Alexander!  He used to bring it to church quite a bit during the Winter months despite warnings from the vicar not to do so.  He never received the message that football is to played OUTSIDE!   However after his family acquired his pet dog, Georgie, he had all but forgotten about his football............until, of course, I reminded him!



So here he is under the bell tower complete with not just Georgie but also...........well Prince too.  I have a nasty feeling that Prince is going to pounce ANY moment here and nab that ball off poor Georgie before she manages to give it back to Robert Alexander.  Robert Alexander IS naughty though because we are sure the vicar will be none too impressed if he catches sight of this football after believing Robert Alexander had learnt his lesson...
We hope that someone comes along soon or there may be some irreparable damage in poor St. Hils!



Rita is still sitting upstairs as you can see..........but in view of what is going on here you can't blame her can you?

Oh dear - a stray into fantasy land again......sorry about that.  I was almost forgetting to tell you what I was hunting for in my "tub of bits".  I was wondering what Miss Enid would carry her bone china tea service to church in?  You see - she MUST have something serviceable mustn't she but what?  I had thought of a cardboard box  and yes - I do have one in miniature.  However she is too quaint and dainty to use such a bulky unsightly box to carry such a beautiful exquisite tea service.  Back to the drawing board on that one......................but I still have time to create my Valentine's Day which I plan to include.............a red rose....................bouquet of roses..................Valentine's Day cards...........................Valentine's Day heart shaped cakes.........................a pair of gloves and purse....................................shall I go on?  In fact I am planning to pull out my whole Valentine's Day arsenal in terms of props!

Anyway - just been called by my poor long suffering husband who has to put up with my obsession with St. Hils and all things miniature......my supper is now ready!
Till the next time..........
