That must be the lady who was sitting with Pippa-Stef and Shadow, in the Spade Oak when we had the gathering for Old Thatch Day on June 18th. :)

She must have thought it was an Enid Blyton Day.

Yep! That was her! :lol:

I think the quote was from Shadow. Though, apologies to Faraway_tree if it was her. It was interesting little chat for sure. I'm sure I ended up babbling away like one of Enid's brookes! :lol:

"So my Mother told me that when I was two years old!" said Julian and the others giggled.

I remember her well. I think the term 'jolly' shows that it was our Bourne End soiree, and not a 'proper' Day - which of course, we didn't have this year.
