This story was written in September 2011 by Cecilia and read by Cecilia in 2023.
It was a laugh to write and quite fun to read for you because, as I was reading, a bird flew in the open studio door and bustled around my head and then a delivery van drove up the farm drive so Boo my dog rushed out of the studio barking loudly and barked all around the house to terrify the delivery person.
So, not only were we back in 1971 on the beach in New Zealand but we were also right here in 2023 in the studio on the farm!
Life is such a feat.
Have a lovely day.
Cecilia

This one is gold. At the beginning I was on tenterhooks at what I knew quickly became apparent would be the fate of the precious teapot, and thinking here we eat Weetbix with butter, peanut butter and honey whipped together, or butter & vegemite... kicking myself for having missed reading this blog post in the early days. I had yet to become a follower and later inadvertently must have overlooked it in my retrospective exploration of TKG blog. Fortuitously in this instance it meant there was no spoiler to THAT ending. OMG... there I was peeling potatoes at the kitchen sink laughing like a drain... lucky no-one else was around except the dog who'd been laying at the kitchen door listening as well. Enjoyed the special touch of the bird sounds and Boo barking in the background... it really sets the scene. Love your work.
