Him Indoors

Not husband R - but Bennett - first name Gordon.

No blips were forthcoming as I walked around the village today to hand deliver my first batch of Christmas Cards - so had to resort to this indoors one.

Bennett is a 3ft model of a butler whose duty it is - when not ironing newspapers - to hold incoming mail on his little tray.

He is the only member of the household who doesn't answer back and he agrees with everything I say.
