Over the next few weeks & months I shall be introducing you to the various characters who meander in & out of my life. From the lovely people of wonderful Winslow who own shops, potter around town, & who just are noteworthy & quirky to my family. Today we shall concentrate on Mr Wright Our little family consists of myself, Mr Wright, our daugther effectionately know as 'The Hobbit' & the hound, Ty. Mr Wright is a man that lives up to his name! He's the sort of man you would require if you were ever stranded on a desert island. & in fact I do have a 'Stranded on a Desert Island ' checklist of attributes Tall, Dark & Handsome - check witty - check dry sense of humour - check able to hunt wild animals - check The ability to cultivate crops - check (Mr Wright's day job is champion Farmer) Capable of building a shelter - check Capable of converting that shelter into a treehouse - check Not complaining when I festoon said treehouse in bunting - check Mechanically minded (in case of happening upon the remains of our plane, boat etc) - check Able to light a fire (very important) - check Able to cook dinner on that fire & then make a cake - check In fact his only failings are that he doesn't like books & doesn't dance.
