Gardeners Rest #19 (2024)

[Snoop Puss]

"Can I be a judge today, Mrs Go-4it? Can I be a judge today, please?", wheedled Snoop, bouncing up and down, the only exercise she'd be doing today thank you. In fact, she wouldn't even be watching the exercise sessions. Having seen Fireman Sam in his lycra, she knew watching him puff and pant would be enough to put her off at least two festive specials she could think of (unspecified for decorum's sake and what with her being a mod and having to set a good example and all) for life.

"Everyone's a judge today", said Mrs Go-4it. "The mince pies will be brought into the bar. We'll all try them and between us we'll rate them."

She disappeared into the kitchen to go and organise lunch.

"Finally", thought Snoop. "I'll get a mince pie, at last. Just as well I only had a tea for breakfast, make sure I've got room for one, perhaps two if I'm lucky."

Perhaps she should visit the GR's library and see if she could find a good book to keep herself occupied till lunch. The stairs creaked underfoot as she made her way up to where she thought the library might be. As she pushed open a heavy door that looked promising, out rushed...

…. Jay22 dressed as Elsa from Frozen.
Looking very red in the face she explained that the she’d managed to get her rather stunning long, sparkly skirt tangled up in the barre and ended up upside down with legs akimbo. Not something she was particularly proud of as she was still wearing her Bridget Jones granny pants
Totally humiliated she’d rushed to the one room which was void of people…

“Come on” said Snoop, gently dabbing her cheeks
“ Let’s go and see if there are any mince pies ready in the kitchen!…a couple of those and a tot of Flo’s favourite brandy should make you feel so much better. And anyway, I’m guessing people won’t have noticed as you were standing at the back and all eyes would have been on the instructor”

Heading to the kitchen they passed by the Christmas Fairy….and yes!…she really did wink…….
