It had one long horn and one big eye

Just for marjory, and any other fans of train-wreck needlework, I present a photograph of the purple bag. Just to make absolutely sure that the child in question learns to despise his mother's friends, I've added a jaunty purple hat to go with it.

If nothing else, it will give his parents plausible deniability when they abandon him in a blackberry patch.



Things made of purple fleece are very hard to photograph in artificial light, you know.

Today, Mr Sainsbury had on special offer cartons of fruit juice which describe themselves as "mojito without the rum". I brought one home out of interest, where Frances and I judiciously, carefully and immediately added the rum back into it. Waiting in the fridge is "cosmopolitan without the vodka".

Ooo-er! Don't think you'll ever be forgiven for the purple hat!

The Hat

Looks similar to a style fashionable around the late Tudor period. I think. I've definately seen hats that hang similarly in period costumes, I'm just not certain of the date. Someone near the V&A might be able to confirm.
