wendy (open) house warming
One recent Sunday afternoon the neighbours, local Reading celebrities, and a gal from West Sussex dropped by to warm the wendy house over lashings of tea and cake. A jolly civilised affiar with a little bit of dribbling. During the goings-on I discovered many useful facts including:
- a local granny can climb the walls to escape from a locked cemetry after dusk.
- the Wendy House was converted from a garage in 1968 partly explaining the dangerous staircase.
- my nieghbours have lived all over the world – Kenya, Italy, India, Edinburgh before settling in Reading. Excellent company.
- the Readibus preferred gift to welcome a newcomer is a bottle of wine.
- the bath works best for a person under 5ft 2 (as do the stairs).
- house numbers evolve. One person’s home had evolved from without number to number 4 then number 2…
I suspect I missed some real news treats while in the Kitchen warming the pots, I wonder what other goodies these people are going to share with us in the upcoming years….
