| The Tilden Park Scarf is an easy ruffled and ruched infinity scarf that adds a feminine touch to any outfit. |
Cheerio! Since Greaseball is in charge of guarding the Queen at Buckingham Palace, nothing I could do would make him crack a smile, not even the promise of catnip sticky pudding.

ReplyDeleteOh, fanstastic!
ReplyDeleteWell, bearing in mind that guarding her Maj is a serious business quite right that Mr Greaseball is straight faced whilst on duty - and if he's got himself a rifle at his side I don't wanna be messing wiv him, oh no.
A trained guardsman can/will hold on to a thought long after public duty - hmmmm, catnip sticky pudding.
how bout' a crumpet at teatime? perhaps that might be a fancy feast? The Queen Mother certainly agrees... :)
ReplyDeleteThat hat is too cute. And I was right - the dour expression is the perfect accessory! Thanks for this one!
ReplyDeleteI can not believe how angry he looks and you still managed to get a great picture. Did he rip your face off afterwards? (joke)
