Ms Exlibris Just seen you on Vera Bentonbag
Bentonbag You mustn't have blinked! I only recognised me by my blouse and top 😀
Ms Exlibris That's how I recognised you! You stood out from the crowd. It was difficult to capture again to show the other half - fleeting!
Bentonbag Their wardrobe lady chose it - we had to take up a "small suitcase of clothing suitable to wear at a Sunday Farmers' market". The fairlise sleeveless jumper was one Phil's mum knitted for him.
Bentonbag or even fairisle!

Drummerman  Bentonbag: was that you we saw wandering about the market in tonight's "Vera"?
Bentonbag Yes - if you were quick sighted - red blouse fairisle sleeveless jumper
Mind you the wandering was quite choreographed to look like natural wandering.

Ms Exlibris‎ to Bentonbag  Have I just seen you on Northern Cross pilgrimage across to Lindisfarne with Gareth Malone on BBC1?
Bentonbag Yes, and the great yellow hulk next to me was Thunderthighs
Ms Exlibris  It was Thunderthighs I spotted first!
Bentonbag  My humungous son and I appear very early on.
Mrs Leftfoot  I've never seen that cap before?  Why didn't he speak to you two?  SOMEBODY really does stand out in the "crowd"... And good for him.
Bentonbag  My cap? I wore it when I did Northern Cross in 1978 and there are few occasions when it's appropriate.  He did speak to us but not on film.  I thought "I'm sure I know this bloke from somewhere - was he a runner on one of the quizzes - or one of the production crew on a Vera" then someone called his name.  Thunderthighs recognised him at once and was star-struck and tongue-tied - apart from "I've come to give her emotional support."
Mrs Leftfoot  You have such lovely children.  A real credit to you and the doctor. X
Bess Cavalier  I was still in bed at 8.00 am this morning!  Will have to have a look on i-player.
