Black As Your Hat

This morning is dark, wet and very miserable out there.  A steady, drenching drizzle and clouds so low we cannot see across the other side of the field.

 P has just left to take part in a fell race.  He must be mad!

 I anticipate a pile of wet and muddy kit to wash on his return.

 My niece's little girl will be relieved to see that Elfie is back today.  Apparently she was shocked to learn yesterday that he knew of her naughtiness and had gone to tell Father Christmas.  She was a little tearful and insisted on writing him a letter to say she was sorry and ask him to come home.

 It seems the journey made him hungry...

    As soon as Daddy Elf returned to the house after his muddy fell run, Naughty Elf pelted him with dollops of strawberry jam. Mummy Elf was not best pleased as she had only just finished cleaning the house from top to bottom. "Ah well,that's life!" grinned Naughty Elf.

    I'm also happy that Elfie is back, I've started waiting for him every day and I'm no longer six.

    He's not going to enjoy his next visit to the dentist.

    He should have popped in and seen his cousins in Greece on his way back. They're waiting under the tree.
