Gardeners Rest #19 (2024)

[Snoop Puss]

"Well, there's an idea!", Snoop thought. "Did the real Rary and the impostor get swapped in the Tardis?" She hoped not. She conveyed her thoughts to Miz Spelling (they were having a telepathic moment, which surprised neither of them, though it ought to have done) and both agreed to go up and investigate the attic again. Though they wouldn't hang around, just in case.

well,said Miz Spelling,good idea,they went up to look,on opening the door gently,so as not to make it squeek,Miz Spelling suddenly wondered if that was the noise imposter Rary heard,and realized a body had found out what was in the room,upon looking the room was all cleaned out,the cleaners found it and thus made it into another room for guests,therefore we can now charge extra for it,as it is a bespoke room with history to it,i must get the handy man to come and sort the door though,wonders if Nicos has a recommendation,mean time,the impostor is in hospital hand cuffed to the bed,with a police guard

.....Meanwhile in the competition kitchen Michelle, of the resistance, slipped in surreptitiously. She was to be the "celebrity" judge for the Christmas puddings as she was generally acknowledged to be a world renowned expert.

The puddings were to be served for Christmas day lunch tomorrow.

Mrs Go-4it was not convinced that Rary had been impersonated by .... well ..... who? ..... What? She had a theory that there was something in either the water or scented candles that was causing lots of out of character behaviour. As she had no wish to be affected she had now taken to cleaning her teeth with vodka, and applying vick to her nostrils.

[Snoop Puss]

Snoop, meanwhile, was worried about Mrs Rary. If she reported him missing, they would probably tell her he was handcuffed to a trolley in a hospital.

[lottie dolly]

Snoop said Miz Spelling,my theory is this,i still think it is an imposter,(surly not a twin),and the real Rary has found the tardis and scarpered for a rest,but did you spot the date on the tardis was prior to the cleasners in the room,it was for tomorrow,so he should be back,just have faith,the imposter will have his collar well and truly felt

[Snoop Puss]

"Fingers crossed", Snoop replied. Privately thinking that the Tardis seemed to have a mind of its own previous years, so couldn't be relied on to do what it was supposed to. Plus, in any case, Mrs Go-4it might still be right. Could be something in the water or the coffee...

[lottie dolly]

are you suggesting the water system is faulty,and the coffee for that matter,this sounds like sabatage,i WILL find out from my Squeeler,only time will tell,said Miz Spelling,only time will tell,she took the tanoy and called,"hello guests,i hope you all looking forwards to our cherished carol servis this evening,i see not many have deposited a gift under the tree yet,if your shy,you will be able to do it anytime before the man himself visits,thank you ",she again when to the tree,then to the office to sort the days paperwork out,as she is a bit behind,thankyou to being arrested,she thought,humhum,if had only been the firemmen,still a body can dream,it is christmas,

[lottie dolly]

Miz Spelling woke early,to make sure all was well,and could not believe her eye's,she got a glimps of something red trimmed with white scurrying away from the tree,and swore it was Rary,well i never said she to herself,the dark YOUNG horse,the guest's started to come into the lounge,all very excited greeting one another GOOD MORNING AND A HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL,there was a buzz of excitement in the air,the tree was twinkling away,the fairy looked resplendent as usual,there was some tipples for the morning drinks along with tea and coffee,MRS Go-4it and her team had been up earlier,preparing delights for our lunch,and were preping for brakefast as i speak,i will therefore go and see what needs my attention,she gave a contented smile towards the fairy,

[Nicos]

[Nicos]

Oh my goodness thought/ drooled Nicos…replacing the 4th croissant she had intended to have for breakfast/ brunch
“ Need to make room for that!”

[Snoop Puss]

"Happy Christmas one and all", exclaimed Snoop at last coming down from her room. What a lovely sleep. She looked at the lunch menu. Goodness, what a feast! She'd have to be careful at breakfast, but that wasn't going to be easy... How about an almond Danish pastry and a snowball rather than a coffee? Hmm, sounded perfect.

She looked around the room. Miz Spelling and her staff had outdone themselves. The decorations were gorgeous. She turned her eyes up to the top of the tree, where the fairy looked back and grinned at her. Much better than a wink, she thought. You knew where you were with a grin, a wink could mean anything. And then she spotted Santa...

[lottie dolly]

Now what was he up to,sorry but your cover has been blown
