Glorious tastelessness.


Halloween costumes suddenly appear in the supermarket.  


A new bottle of rose on the wine shelves.  A retro 1940's style - ' Ginger. Tasty and Spicy'. Angus chuckles aloud at the glorious tastelessness. The few shoppers out and about at this early hour glance at him nervously.


For the PONs a day for dozing at the front door. Bob, made drowsy by the autumn sun adopts his  '' I wasn't really asleep. I was merely closing my eyes  " persona. 


Two, unseasonably late, Belgian pilgrims wander along the lane. The click-clack of walking sticks on the tarmac alerts the PONs to their presence. Bob clambers onto his stump seat - Furry Fox in mouth. Sophie stands on her hind legs. The Belgian pilgrims don't seem to realize they're being observed by two ferocious beasts. They smile and wave.

I think those pilgrims were just doing a good job of disguising their terror.

Lovely photo of Bob....such a kind and gentle nature reflected in those eyes.

Ah, but we all know that Bob has eyes in the back of his head - and they never close ! How else would he keep watch on his sister?

A rose ginger wine? Interesting. Oh yes, ferocious indeed.

The wine might be tasty. I think the lady on it looks a bit like my Mom with the bright red hair, though she's usually wearing a LOT more clothing.
