What makes you think the one in your possession is valuable at all?' asked Mr Bookmite, a tiny bespectacled gentleman whose name seemed very apt.

The Wind In the Willows is a delightful book. I didn't read it until I was an adult but thoroughly enjoyed it, only wish I'd read it as a child so I could compare my impressions.

'Daddy,' Rosie interrupted, 'you're rambling again. I have absolutely no idea what you're on about. Suffice it to say, we want nothing further to do with the Snoozletramp woman so don't expect us to visit until you've given her the heave-ho. And that's final!' 'Rosie baby, you leave me with ...

Disgusting? I can't remember your name?' 'A further example of your business's abysmal incompetence,' I said. 'We're not used to .. err ..dealing with ..err ..complaints? We'll ..err ..

'Let me put you in the picture,' I interrupted, before she could ask any more questions. 'Ms Snoezelem and I once went on a date.

'So she can be near her 'winky dinky super slinky Johnny'? I DON'T THINK SO! OUT ... NOW!' And there was no brooking Rosie in her present mood. All for the best really, I didn't fancy having food snorted all over me again. I never did get the curry stains out of my favourite dicky. 'Darling, you called me your husband. When are you going to ... (Bernadette is wonderful,(love how she can shout just like Howard's mother 😂) as are all the characters. Such a well written and hilarious series.
