We are driving down to the Fenland lace fair. We’re looking forward to seeing friends today.
I am getting the death stare from the #peskyknittedcavemen for making them wake up early to help on the stall. Good luck to anyone expecting any level of customer service from them today.

No, being forced to work during December does not mean that you pair count as Christmas Elves.
Hang on, what do you mean by “we suppose that’s true as the fat man we work for isn’t very jolly”?
Grrrrr Bah Humbug #peskyknittedcavemen

Yes, I know you are Hunter-Gatherers, and that you’re proud of ‘gathering’ the means of buying cake. However, it doesn’t count as ‘gathering’ if you’ve just taken it out of my wallet!
