Sorry to summon you all by the bell- its an emergency!
Headmistress we are SOOO sorry but we didn’t know what else to do!!!!!!
I only popped in with a Brenda story for Blossom and stopped for a quick chat when this chap came wandering downstairs with a clipboard- I wouldn’t have suspected a thing……..strange men wandering up and downstairs? Nothing unusual, but eagle-eye Ex J spotted the green duck on his lapel and had the presence of mind to challenge him. He mumbled something about…..what was it- bedsteads…no!-OFFCUTS? Anyway I was about to tell him we burnt all ours when I noticed a folder headed ‘Health and Safety’ sticking out of his bag. Then he asked the way to the LAB! Well we couldn’t let him in there……..with Toady’ printing press and all those new notes and everything…….so we sent him to the cellar. Clever old Pipany distracted him (were they Janet Raeger, P?- very nice!) whilst I snatched the file and passed it to Faith. We were just panicking, remembering Matron’s ‘still when Mm G came ROARING down the corridor and manhandled him into the broom cupboard!
The file was full of stuff! He found the ducks in the shower, Mousie, the empty bottles in the laundry baskets, some photos of Kitty (is it just me or has the gardener lost weight?) It said something about a gambling licence……not for our little card evenings, surely?….and worse-----he knows what you do in the tack-room, Blossom!
He’s reported 3 cases of wine, 5 of chocolate and 2 of children (but they were grandchildren so they don’t count do they?.) Also there was one lipstick injunction but that’s been dropped-turned out to be lip salve.
So what to do? We just heard some whimpering coming from the broom cupboard but that could be the smallest dog stuck on a mop-handle again (must get the janitor to get Matron a decent mop or some new glasses) Mm G is still jammed against the door and is turning a strange colour………
We don’t know what to do…………..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…………….

As long as he didn't find the squaddie in my gym bag I am in the clear, as for the tack room who told you about that, I suppose it is all around the Pony Club AGAIN!!

I told you never to mention the printing press. Get the Purplecoombe vet down to knock him out with a dart[ and Madame G come to think of it ] to give us time to think.

Is there any of UPL's Rhubarb wine left? If so lets ply him with loads of that, he'll soon forgot what he came for and give us a chance to tidy things away!!

Umm I think it will be ok.... he's now completely befuddled by rhubarb wine and Pipany is dressing him up in another set of her Janet Regers and telling him how pretty he looks!

Good lord woman have you been on your famous whisky agan? Don't you know walls ( or in this case broom cupboards have ears!) I imagine he is after the cadburys lorry that went missing yesterday I think you had better ask Patsy about that... but do be careful what you say!
Someone give Madame Grognonne a glass of Absinthe and she will be fine!!If you have run out of Ansinthe see Alan (comment on my blog explains) and he has lorry loads of the stuff !

Oh so he's back is he - bit braver than Matron or I had realised. Mmmmm Need to give this some thought. Just keep doing what your doing girls and let his dogs out onto the lawn . . . . . yes the four that are in the car . . . tut tut he really shouldn't leave them in there on such a hot day!

Wonder if he'll manage to 'hot foot' it over here, terribly cheap on Ryanair, does he drive a little white van only one's just pulled up outside ?

Yup! Parcel him up! Call the TNT lorry. Wrap him in bandages and write 'Mummy' on the consignment note.

OOps! Sorry Blossom- we thought you knew! We did put your cut of the ticket sales in the envelope with the Brenda blog and the lovely piccies of Kitty doing a bit in the garden.........

Bugger, I thought I was rid of the ducks - please can I have my lipstick back if I promise only to use it in emergency mowing situations.
I may have more time on this site today - GOH has gone via Easyjet to Edinburgh - more carbon footprints and I am having a Tesco delivery - Christ Almighty, I may implode today! Health and Safety will be here next I fear.
