She should have asked them to pick up some tea bags and loo rolls from Waitrose on their way over...
....and a copy of the Daily Telegraph, so that she can get her regular dose of fascism. I have spoken to her about her reading material.

Retired Oxford dons? I could go for that. A little role play, JRR Tolkien and the Elf Queen, C.S. Lewis and the metaphorical lion, Charles Dodgson and the pre-pubescent girl.

Oh, that went dark quickly.

@Rocky, are they gentleman dons, or lady dons in your case?

But I'm happy to take compliments where I can get them (they are so few and far between these days).

My mum has just had a call from 'HMRC' saying they are on their way to arrest her for not paying her income tax. She hung up without speaking......good for her.
Wouldn't that spoil the surprise?

By an amazing coincidence, I was chatted up by a young (really, c.16?) Belgian man in London yesterday. I was sitting on a wall my own, eating a sandwich, and I think his giggly friends dared him to go over and talk to me. Eventually he said, <accent> "You have stolen my heart."
I said, "But I'm old enough to be your grandmother," to which he instantly responded, "My grandmother stole my heart as well." 10/10 8) It was a bit creepy/weird though.

With all that water around, you might want to send him one of these:

Isnt black garlic the very slowly roasted sweet tasting version?

Im growing some for the first time this year, should be ready in about 3-4 weeks I think. Strangely excited.
