A postscript to the last post....a comment by another Trelawnyd-ite forwarded on to me this evening
" He usually has a box of dog biscuits in that basket ready for any passing dog walker...he's such a character, he makes me laugh...when I had finish my chemotherapy and my hair was just growing back (you know the fledging look!) he briskly strolled past me in the village hall calling out in his booming voice..."hello flower, wow your barber is even worse than mine!" You've got to laugh! Xxx"

Simply brilliant!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove,

Your tales about your village make me so nostalgic for a life I once had as a child (and didn't understand then) and hopeful that I'll find this on our newest adventure.
ReplyDeleteYou WILL find it...but only if you look properly x
DeleteJust to live where a man will say "hello flower" to another person wins my heart .
ReplyDeletea (male) cousin of mine calls everyone blossom and when asked how he is he says "a ball of fluff"
DeleteI can almost hear him saying that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, lovely man.
ReplyDeleteOh, he didn't say, "I thought u had died" then?
ReplyDeleteHuh?
DeleteWonderful !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip and thehamish
Most of us would politely ignore the lack of hair. I like his comment.
ReplyDeleteHa! I love that crazy guy!
ReplyDeleteGood to have a few real 'characters'in a village; yours seem to have its fair share!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could meet him; "hello Flower" and no pity looks, would make my day!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
Sometimes when you've been in a bad situation it's a welcome relief when someone skips the niceties and takes the piss instead - as long as it's in good humour of course!
ReplyDeleteAm still alive and kicking and raring to get blogging again when I have finished all the washing and ironing (groan).
ReplyDeleteYay! It's Weaver, all tanned and bursting with enthusiasm after her holidays. Welcome back!!! (Just wash stuff; forget ironing.)
ReplyDeleteTrelawnyd is peppered with such interesting characters, it always makes your blog a joy to read!
ReplyDeleteOnce Benny Hill sang about Ernie in his milk cart. We need a new song about Gordon on his mobility scooter.
ReplyDelete"Gordon! He drove the fastest scooter in his vest..."
Love it ;-)
DeleteHe sounds like a real character and a lovely person. I'm totally jealous of your village :-)
ReplyDeleteI have always said I have no intention of moving back to the UK to live - I have been gone almost 40 years at this point. BUT I do love going home and LOVE the humour. Luckily there are enough Brits out here that I get my fix though. My mom's funeral was last week and while it was sad, humour gets you through anything - and it did - which is just the way she would have wanted it. Does Gay Gordon know they wrote a song about him, by the way? Anna
