All of you out there reading this drivel are thinking we’ve given up on our social life – nothing is the same without Rosie. Well you are right , except for this afternoon , Jacob , Flo and I hit The Brigstock Manor Easter party . We were the youngest there ( yes , even me ) and it had all the ingredients of a ‘proper ‘ party ….Easter bonnets, a buffet, liebfraumilch, a raffle ( we won a choc bunny and a set of glass sundae dishes – why anyone in a residential home would want to win those , is another question ) and best of all ENTERTAINMENT. Yes we were honoured to be entertained by ‘Tony Arnold’. All was going swimmingly, with us swaying ( too much liebfraumilch ? ) and singing along to ‘underneath the arches’ , ‘lambeth walk’ , etc when Tony , launched into ‘knees up mother Brown ‘ …..Grandmamas favourite. You can’t keep an old girl down…….
I know I keep repeating myself , but , Rosie would have loved it . xxx
Easter bonnets! Were they made out of bright crepe paper,wrapped under the chin with a big bow in the side and little chicks on the brim?-bet Jacob looked fab! I imagine some of the over 80’s could have chucked their plastic knees up in the air themselves. Rosie would have been right in there,frothing her skirts up!!
Hahaha, she’s amazing! Sounds like a good time, miss you!
