Trimming the bush of life…
FADO 
My dear ladies and occasional gentleman, here is Ronald and me enjoying some WHITE PORT in the city of OPORTO on our holiday in October.
To make up for my absence I will be bombarding you with posts in order that you can catch up on events in the Ladygarden household.
Yours Slurpily

P.s. I have been working with a very dear lady friend of mine on a project, I think you would call her a ‘GHOST WRITER’.
More news on that later .C x
QUIRILI-ANUS! My dear ladies and occasional gentleman.
It was our parish CAROL SERVICE, 9 lessons and carols in our beautiful village church last Sunday.
I was sitting in a pew with PCSO Claire and her sister. Lovely young ladies. I had noticed something wasn’t quite right but couldn’t put my finger on it until halfway through the THIRD CAROL, when I realised they were singing a completely different CAROL.
They had been given LAST YEARS order of service.
This year I was reading lesson 6, which had in it the unfortunate name of QUIRINIUS.
I said to them ” I have a tricky name in my reading, QUIRILI-ANUS.” Needless to say once the SPOONERISM had left my lips and hit their ears they were a bundle of giggling girlies.
Imagine my perturbation as I stood in the pulpit and looked out at the congregation.
Merry Christmas
Yours Merrily

CREATIVE JUICES have been flowing in the LADYGARDEN, Ronald has had to take cover!
My dear ladies and occasional gentleman, I apologies for my absence but my CREATIVE JUICES have been flowing and I am sure you’ll agree that you have to enjoy it and go with the flow.
Since we last had a little converse I have written a PANTOMIME for our annual village production (oh no you didn’t, oh yes I did), I appreciate the concept of PANTOMIME is a little obtuse to my COLONIAL friends. It is truly a strange English form of THEATRE.
It isn’t as easy as it might sound writing a PANTOMIME, there are the absolute necessities that have to be included. I have to make sure there is a part for every EGO and each character has to have some dialogue and a song. Then there are the whole cast DANCES , PANTO HORSE, audience participation,choosing all the MUSIC……… It’s OK I’m stopping now, I can hear your yawns of boredom.
I have also written more of my novel!
If you were wondering how I did at our ANNUAL VILLAGE SHOW here are the results and thank you for all your well wishes.
Yours Creatively
Celia
