In the supermarket this morning when I overheard a little girl very patiently and calmly explaining to her (I presume) mother why she shouldn't buy the vegetables she was looking at. Her reasons included they looked funny, they had been in the dirt (!) she didn't like the look of them wouldn't eat them and it would be better for mum to spend the money on something she would eat - like the sausage roll being sold at the hot food counter! She was putting her case in such a logical manner I think she will grow up to either be a scientist or a politician!

Wotchit that Anya*!!
No bets on which old boiler is first for the pot!

Three little Anya's chooks are we
Scratching and clucking with girlish glee
Laying our eggs as well we can
Or else we might end up as Coq au Vin.

Gordon Ramsay named his turkeys Ainsley, Antony and Nigella. His pigs were called Trinny and Susannah and the lambs were Charlotte and Gavin.
