For
more years than I care to think about I was secretary of Woodlawn School
Parents & Friends Association.
I
spent many Boxing Day mornings on Whitley Bay links with the Rt Hon Sir AlanCampbell, Member of Parliament for Tynemouth, who has turned out since 1997 to
start the Xmas Pudding Fun Run.

Discussing the Xmas Pudding Fun Run
at the Woodlawn Parents & Friends meeting on Monday I pointed out that I'm
easily recognised as I always wear my 101 Dalmations hat and proper coat on
Boxing Day "because I'm usually shmoozing Alan Campbell MP".
"Shall I wear my WPFA
t-shirt?" I asked.
"No!!!" came the reply
"I expect the same bling as Alan Campbell gets."
Showed this to Fester who said
“Fur
hat Indoors? You have to be at least 60
for that. Oh!
I forgot! You are.”
He’s either a silver tongued barsteward or
senility’s creeping in.

I do think it looks
like a Spotted Dick hat.
Bentonbag The pudding or the
disease?
Woolerwoman Love your spotted hat! There's a
subtle evocation of custard and brandy butter within the deep indulgent crown
and sheltering, snow defiant brim.
That'll be £75.00 .. Got a hat you need justifying?

Hat History
I
only knew Fester’s parents for a couple of years before they passed away.
Ferretfingers’
first Christmas we spent at my family home in Wales, my last one there.
Fester’s
dad Fred died shortly after we discovered I was pregnant with Thunderthighs.
That
and the following Christmas we spent in Sheffield with his mother, Jean, before
she too passed away.
Jean
was mostly housebound so gave me some cash in lieu of a gift, which I spent on
this really warm winter hat that only comes out in the worst of weathers.
