A Boy Called Audrey (Pictures from an Exhumation)

Product Information

On the other hand, she is very protective and loving, which is partly why they fight as Rex hates that! Audrey never really asks for much (unlike Rex who wants every toy he’s ever seen) and at the moment she is really enjoying her baby doll again, being a mummy, reading her stories and giving her milk.

I knew pretty soon this was a probate property (that someone had died), but didn’t ask the estate agent to confirm. A tiny thing that was part of our childhood and something I can’t tell my mum I remember and still treasure. Hinge and Dame Hilda Bracket had met, went the legend, in their youth when part of a touring opera company. In the chiDuruma language, kakuna can mean many things, including, “I don’t have,” or “there aren’t any. I usually like some sort of alliteration or pun in blog post title, it but in this case, like some of my favourite books about loss and death, I thought I’d be more direct.However here we are, moving into a big old people house (it was with the previous family for 58 years! Rupert, nearly broken by the horrors he has endured, has been humiliated by the bride who once seemed so right for him, and he rejects Grace's love and any hope of future happiness. Audrey still tests me of course, sneakily creating a bit of distance in the park or running off ahead around a big garden visit and she often decides she needs a wee once we are as far away from the toilet as we can be… but we got by, we had no accidents and I kept close to her without needing to sprint or feel stressed… and it’s made me look forward to the summer holiday ahead.

Rex adores the sea and could probably stay all day if it’s warm, but on this occasion it was a bit chilly, so he was happy to leave when Audrey was (about 90mins in). A catharsis for the frustrated moral philosopher in all of us, and a place to finally find out if you were wrong in an argument that's been bothering you.

Then, with precious water, he made mud to throw in the waffle-design, filling it to bake hard in the hot sun.We wanted to rent a trolley but I missed the cut off for booking online and when we tried to book one once there, they had sold out. However, having said we would not get a house that needed a lot of work (because we are not do-ers), we walked around this (very much needs a lot of work) property feeling all the feels.

Weirdly, I only realised at the moment it started that my mum would never see it, she would never even know they remade it so beautifully and that made me sad. I love all things autumnal and baking year-round, plus I adore cats with a passion (because who doesn't?
