Saturday, 5th December 2015 - Balloon Rescue

Harriet and I took Hetty and Bella to Tenterden. They were holding a Christmas fair. A bit of discussion ensued after Father Christmas gave them some sweets in the High Street and then they saw him shortly after in his grotto. Hetty knows that is far too many places for a person to be and some of them have dodgy looking beards. I bought them a couple of unfestive helium balloons. Bella's string snapped and we watched her Dalmatian go floating off into a tree. Harriet and I stood pondering whether it would be possible to catch it, probably not, you can imagine Bella's little sad face. A young lad passed by and insisted on climbing the rather spiky tree to rescue her balloon. Now imagine her delighted little face. As he handed the balloon back he got a round of applause. Then ran off. What a kind deed. I hope he has a lovely happy Christmas and future life.

Work continues on Little Holt. Tim and Brett have broken through and they have a charming hole in their living room wall. The girls found it most entertaining.
