The Blighty family are off on an expedition OOp North, to visit Lovely B, Mr B's cousin who lives near Newcastle. Lovely B has screwed down all the furniture, hidden the silver and padlocked the explosives cabinet. We all have our wetsuits packed as we will be going boogie boarding in the sea. Risking hypothermia in this way has become a family tradition.
When I went upstairs to pack, I got distracted by this book. I know some of you are fascinated by the Mitfords. They were certainly an interesting lot, and I adore Nancy's novels but some of her siblings' politics were decidedly iffy. There are some jolly photos of Diana and Unity with their great friend Mr Hitler. Oh dear.
I have also been staying up way beyond my bedtime watching this. Do you know it? It's trashy and yet such fun. A model dies, and comes back in the body and with the brains of a female lawyer, but with the model's fashion knowhow and streetwise smartness.
Now try to behave yourselves while I'm away. I know it's hard. Of course the Blighty family will be behaving impeccably at all times. Even when their extremities go blue.

Boogie on Blighty...have fun in the sea.
ReplyDeleteThe WIndsors had ties with Hitler too...Wallis and Edward were very chummy in fact...I don't think people knew what was going on in Germany back then...ignorance is Bliss.
Can't make any promises regarding the behavement ;-), but wishing the Blighty family fun and not too freezing and wet holidays! Take care, HM.
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday, Blighty and family.
ReplyDeleteI will be returning home soon and will try my best to take up where you have so capably left off in the blogging stakes.

PLEASE COME BACK I MISS YOU> AND I HAVE AN AMAZING SNAKE STORY WITH PHTOTS FOR YOUR BOYS.
ReplyDeleteCHEERS,
LOUISE IN TOWNSVILLE
Today, I went to the beach front with my children.
ReplyDeleteI found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to
her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to
tell someone!
