Fairy godmothers

The other day, I caught myself saying to Alice, "We know a song about that, don't we?"

In my best continuation of a Jeffrey from Rainbow impression, "I'll tell you a story":

(What feels like) long, long ago, in a (United) kingdom far, far away, Princess Alice set off for the city of London to seek her fortune at the palace of her fairy godmother Auntie Becca, and Uncle "Mite".

Her mother journeyed on ahead for a sumptuous (bbq) feast and the opportunity to sup nary a few goblets of wine without the need to get up early in the morning. Princess Alice was duly delivered by her grandparents the next day in her silver (Volvo) carriage, clutching a biscuit and settled into the care of her mother and fairy godmothers.

The godmothers set out to give Princess Alice all the riches that she deserved. She was wined and dined at the magical kingdom of Westfield at Shepherds Bush by FGM Auntie Shell...

...and taken to the park where, no sooner did she arrive, then she was forced to seek shelter from the rain in a (gingerbread) cottage, with FGM Auntie Becca.

Princess Alice didn't meet any wicked witches or frog princes but she quickly befriended the cats belonging to FGM Auntie Becca. The cats showed their affection to Princess Alice by cowering under the bed each time she approached, thundering into the room and yelling, "Miaow" at the top of her voice, but the little Princess was undaunted.

I don't have enough photos of this week, since Turner Towers has at least 10 floors and my camera always seemed to be on a different one to me, up a very softly carpeted staircase which the Princess found far too alluring. Princess Alice had a lovely time in her last week in London and Princess Alice's Mummy's liver came away intact, which was a magical gift and a surprise to all concerned (e.g. Princess Alice's Daddy's parting words when he left for Australia were, "Now, don't try to keep up with Rebecca and Michelle"). Princess Alice and her Mummy set off for the emerald city of Sydney in the land of Oz with many fond memories in their heads if not on film. And one would hope that the princess will live happily ever after too.
