Eeeh well my friend, Annie Arkwright,from Accrington, came round for afternoon tea. She brought this photo of herself. She bought this huge pumpkin and cut it out, but, oh my lord, when she put it on the right way round the holes were in very dodgy places. Yes you can guess the eyes where her boobs were, and the nose her belly button. Can't tell you where the mouth came. So she turned it round. Not to be daunted. She said - ' Eeeh by gum our Polly, I always gets things wrong. I'll afta gerranother, and take more care with th'knife By 'eck I will'. So off she pops ta her local farm shop.
Annie hasn't got a blog, or on facebook, so she had to email the photo that she took when she had been to the farm shop (Annie says she is a technofrobelick - hates gadgets) All they had left were these small ones ...............
They look like a big pair to me Annie lass!!!
Sorry I haven't been looking at your blogs lately, l have been busy. I will have a look at as many as I can but probably won't comment on many today.
Happy Halloween from Me and from Annie Arkwright too.
Good to see Annie is still around... thought she might be secretly training at altitude for for some international Winter sporting event, we know what a trier she is as proved here....and everyone loves a trier!!
ReplyDeleteShe does try hard, bless her, one day things may go right for her

DeleteSadly ... yes, Annie's bum does look big in the first one :-)
ReplyDeleteShe got a nice pair in the end though ....
my Grand-daughter is 4 years old today - bit too young to understand the significance but in years to come I'm sure there'll be lots of Halloween themed parties to enjoy LOL
Trust you to add your own humour! And Happy Birthday to your grand daughter, bet she is adorable

ReplyDeleteOh thank you Debbie, so glad you had a quiet smile. Happy Halloween xx
DeleteLove your humor Polly, I can tell when you are having a mini break from your painting because you entertain Annie. We were ready last night for some knocks at the door after getting caught short last year and running out of treats but the weather was bad and no kiddies came so now I have a huge pile of mini Mars bars to get through bother!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorraine. She does pop round often and takes up a lot of my time!!!! Halloween was the same here, no children, so got lots of mini chocs that I will HAVE to eat.
