Harry Potter Seems To Be Amongst Us

From the days when our dining table would be covered with an extra large throw and then filled with pillows, blankets, cuddly toys and emergency comestibles whenever our beloved niece and nephew came to play ........


......... it would now seem that young master Bertie, at least, has graduated to our hall cupboard to be our very own Harry Potter.  This necessitated the removal of our Henry (vacuum cleaner), the clothes dryer and Darrell's shopping trolley .......


 ........to be replaced by more blankets and cushions!  S
o, over the weekend let's just say we had a very contented little bunny, sat sitting in the pitch black with a torch and his tablet, left to his imagination, where no one would ever think of looking for him!!!!!!!


Obviously, all necessary health and safety precautions were strictly followed and adhered to the absolute letter ........


...... including Darrell being on the other end of a walkie talkie, ready for any request for extra cushions, books, drinks and snacks with the minimum of fuss!  What are we like if not totally devoted Uncles and Aunt!!

I hope he was comfortable, and had fun.

Oh that takes me back to when our son Nick was young, he loved playing in our cupboard under the stairs. I’d empty it out and provide pillow, sleeping bag and torch and he pretended it was a hotel! I made a little menu for him to order room service from. Happy days!

Oh for a bit of peace and quiet - I'm with master Bertie. Sometimes one has just got to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life and think about things....and do things....alone and quietly. Life is too full of busy....JantheFan X
