Thoughts of Home .......

With Disney merch absolutely EVERYWHERE .......

.... including the Bay Boutique at Nigel's hotel ........

...... it goes without saying that the little fella's mind, as he Disney Adventure nears its end, has turned to the idea of making one or two considered purchases.

A mug or beaker exactly like the ones in his room are a definite possibility .......

...... or a bottle of "parfum d'ambiance" - air freshener to you and me, to waft round The Towers, with its evocative aroma to bring back memories of his time at  Newport Bay, which would be especially welcome on a grey and dank day by the river.

Darrell and I might appreciate a new mug, breakfast bowl or water bottle, but which of all the Disney characters would resonate most with each of us, he pondered. Perhaps a bucket of candy floss or bag of gummies might be a less challenging consideration though.

Mickey hands and ears (of which there are many hundreds of varieties for every mood or occassion) may look au natural and de rigueur on absolutely everyone in the park, as do little ones walking around dressed as their favourite super hero or princess .....

..... but on the High Street of Evesham, mmmmmmmm maybe not.

As for all the soft toys, don't get him started, Little Miss Iris and Young Master Bertie have, somehow, already managed to weeddle a Chip n Dale plus a Baby Tigger and Pooh into their beds! 

However, Nigel, deep down, is a quite a frugal fella, he says the price of everything is eyewatering and he isn't now going to be silly with his money (except where his beloved niece and nephew are concerned of course) ...... so he tells us that so far the cheapest thing he's found and subsequently purchased, are two tins of Chip n Dale sweeties for 1 euro each ...... while he continues to consider a little more, bless him!
