Holly and Rosie's Stuff: February 2009

Spectacled Bear Time

Published Saturday, February 28, 2009 by Jim Cromwell.

When we have time without our sister and only one parent, we call it Little Bear time.

Rosie thinks that now we aren't little, we should maybe have Grizzly Bear Time.

She also thinks that time spent alone with Mummy should be Spectacled Bear Time.

Anne Frank

Holly has started reading The Diary of Anne Frank - and took it to Holiday Club today so she would not have to stop reading it.

The Bookery

...is what Rosie calls the independent bookshop in Bath that Auntie Alex took us to, then to Waterstones, and to which we insisted on returning so Holly could stride to the counter stating "I am looking for The Diary of Anne Frank."

Rosie has made this aide memoire for Holly in the mornings. She must put her book bag in her tray, put her water bottle in the box, sort her meal ticket, and sit on the carpet.

Children's Area

Published Sunday, February 08, 2009 by Jim Cromwell.

We went to the Jolly Sailor in Teignmouth for lunch today. Nice pub, and children not allowed in the bar but can go where the pool table and dartboard are. Indeed, it is signposted "Children's Area".

So when a middle-aged couple come in for a Sunday beer and sit down, Holly squares up to them and says "This is the CHILDREN'S area!"

And indeed, they got up and moved...
