This is what a Saxon looks like

With small puppy attachment. Fact. I accept no argument or discussion on the subject. The man in the hardware shop commiserated with me when he found out what the rope was for. He gleefully told me his three daughters were all past the school dress up days. I congratulated him through gritted teeth.

All jobs done by three pm which was very satisfying. And then I threw a pint of vegetable juice all over myself and the kitchen. It had beetroot in it. I just stood there, dripping red juice calling for Jay to tell me what to do. The kitchen wall and back door now have a distinctive pink hue.
