the Stuff Of Easter Nightmares

It's a really short term leading up to the Easter holidays for Nigel and his beloved readers .......

 ...... so because the little fella seems to be getting through his assorted stickers at a rate of knots, Darrell thought he'd treat Nigel (and his readers) to a couple of packets of seasonally inspired Easter ones for the last two/three weeks of term, to stick in their reading record books and/or on their sweatshirts.

However, he didn't say anything to Nigel until they arrived this week, as he wanted them to be a surprise .........

Needless to say, as you can imagine when Darrell finally gave them to Nigel it all got rather erm, emotional and a little tearful .....

...... and continued to be, as they looked through all the lovely designs together, with Nigel, bless him, even predicting with a few of them which little one would go for which sticker! 

There was only one sticker that they both decided to put aside and not put back in the packet to take to school, as it, according to Darrell, gave him the absolute ebbie jeebies, depicting a creepy, elongated, rabbit girl with a head unfeasibly too small for her body, admiring a basket of apples with another slightly old fashioned, older, real type girl, which he declared to be the stuff of nightmares!  What is he like? 

That being said, Nigel was very touched by Darrell's very thoughtful and festive gift and can't wait to get back to school to start mulling over them, with each child, choosing their favourite, after they have read  ...... well, all except for the "haunted" one!
