Imagine my delight on Christmas morning when I sprang out of bed at 3am, rushed downstairs like a little girl and found that Father Christmas had come down the chimney and left a plethora of presents under the tree. I was so mesmerised by this extraordinarily-good gift wrapping paper - showing scenes of debauched, sadomasochistic revelry - for a moment I was reluctant to open the gifts.
Happy Christmas!

I remember reading in one of your posts that you use expensive straw for bedding material for your staff. May I suggest newspapers dear Fanny? they're cheap, (some are even free) and absorbant and it makes perfect wrapping paper for the staff's festive orange and nuts at Christmas time.
ReplyDeleteI usually just open the trapdoor and throw down a few scraps for them to eat - potato peelings and a rotten cabbage, sometimes a bit of green cheese, too. I do like the sound of free newspapers used for bedding though; thanks for the suggestion. I wonder whether you would be interested in doing an exchange.. we could have Carmen down here for a few days to see if she is any good.. you could have.. Gretel.. one of most insubordinate members of staff. I am sure you would be able to whip her into shape. x
