Early Wednesday morning . The gold metallic ' Wild Child ' voiturette arrives in the courtyard with a crunch of gears , a scattering of gravel and a honk of its asthmatic horn . Madame Bay has finally returned from visiting her sister in Paris. The visit has not been a success . '' I don't know why I do it . I really don't know ". Further details are not, yet, forthcoming.
Bob and Sophie look on in stunned silence as this larger than life figure swathed in lilac chiffon, orange velvet turban , paisley housecoat and pendulous earrings advances towards them . '' Oh you little darlings. Which one of you is Soffeee and which is Bhib ? " .
After a moments hesitation Sophie advances towards the apparition . Bob , however, takes an executive decision and rushes to the safety of his private spot under the library table. A '' what manner of beast is that ? " look visible on his face. There he remains until Madame Bay quietly goes to the kitchen and returns with a pack of McVitie's wholemeal digestive biscuits. Thereafter Bhib and Madame Bay become quickly reconciled.
Later in the day, after a visit to the cafe under the arcades and two more curly bits from the end of a croissant, we weigh them. Bob now ten kilos. Sophie 8.8. To say they have healthy appetites would be an understatement.

Ah, the moment we have all been waiting for.
Sometimes visits go bad very fast because someone wants to be a Asshole & has no self control!
The power of a biscuit.
Hope you all enjoy your day.

I've no doubt Soffeee and Bhib charmed Madame Bay, just as they have us!
I hope all is well--That Monsieur Bongo and his team have fixed everything, and its been an enjoyable day!
"Sophie advances towards the apparition," Angus your words are priceless.
I'm so happy that Madame Bay is finally back.
Now I feel like making a cheesecake hearing about McVitie's digestive biscuits.
Sophie "The Canine Excavator" works out harder than Bob so her weight will be under his....smile.
Ha ha ha! I am somehow not surprised that Bob was the reticent one in the greeting. I love that shot of them sitting together!
what's becoming amazing to me ~ that unlike our beloveds little wilf and digby ~ we cannot see sophie's and bob's eyes in the pictures ~ their expressions still come through perfectly!
wonder what the notoriously chic and reportedly snooty parisians think of madame bay? they may not be so appreciative of such beautiful eccentricity!
i'm already addicted to the videos. i had my first withdrawal symptom this morning! LOLOL.
I was really picturung a rather mystical floaty creature as you described her outfit! Apparition describes what was in my head perfectly! I have missed Madame Bay.
Perhaps the Parisienne sister wears mostly black or sensible brown ensembles.
And McVities, haven't had any in years, but they do make great cheesecake crusts! I can smell those crumbs mixed with butter! MUST get some.
And once again our little "timid" girl, led the way! Go, Sophie, Go!

Love the 'this is our best sitting' photo!
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
That is the opposite of what I expected. Sophie is finding her confidence! How was the Hoover with the crazy figure pushing it?
Hurrah for Mme Bay!
That photo is brilliant! Cannot wait to hear more bonding stories....I could only picture the look on Bob's face...
