Hootsmon Headlines

Grandsons 2 and 3 snoring gently, along with exhausted Granny. Bessie, the protective, clucky, one of my dogs curled up near them. The rest, all food possibilities licked, cluster around my feet. I'll try and stay awake for a while...

  2. Altogether now!

    There'll be gliders over,
    The white cliffs of Dover
    And a corgi called Rover
    To guard her Majesty!

  4. There was a time when the London Met' was substantially of Scots origin. Dixon of Dock Green and Andy, his son, could well have been thus. How about a follow up? Salmond of Soho Square?

  5. Thanks people. As you may have gathered, I'm working part time now to help with the bairns.

    And it IS exhausting. The long lazy evenings on the laptop are now over, the house smells of dogs *and* nappies, cbeebies is now the only channel allowed on the idiot box and I've grown another pair of eyes in the back of my head...

    Demetrius, an interesting idea; maybe Broon of New North Britain Yard? Or is that Labouring the point:¬)

  8. I love the grandkids but the best part is, having filled them sugar and let them do things their parents NEVER permit, you send them home to let your children deal with the aftermath. Grandparents who have to, themselves, deal with the aftermath have my honest admiration for doing so.

  11. I should qualify that. I think they have it in Canada but all we "Americans" know Canada doesn't count. ;-)
