Worrying

Monday 18th April 2022

Robert Nevil failed to resurrect on Easter Day. Usually he never fails, also to be born at Christmas as the two go together. But this year, unfortunately, he was found prone amongst wood anemones in a wood.

Is this the end?

The Gay Mother conveys bewilderment. She heard someone on the radio explaining that their poverty was such they would not be able to have the TV on all day.

Her TV recommendations proved invaluable. Filth! The Mary Whitehouse Story. And Thatcher and Reagan.

No, Mary Whitehouse was not right after all. The Gay Mother doesn’t think so either.

I do love the colours of Easter – primrose yellow, violet, pink and pale green. We had a tea table yesterday which arrived at these colours of its own accord.

On Saturday the Gay Mother was moved to go in quest of the wood anemones, meaning a hazardous walk into the woods over lumpy terrain. But they were there and flowering quite well. She has kept faith with the wood anemones over many years. Some years they don’t appear and hope is lost. What evil force has got at them? But somehow they seem always to come back.
