The door opens and Granny Fortuna appears " Make sure you don't miss any corners Bruno "
Bruno sighs " How many times are you going to tell me that! "
" Mmm " says Granny pretending to think about it " every time ! because you will forget and then I'll have to get you back out again to redo it! "
"Most shop keepers have a proper window cleaner call round once a month to clean the windows!" says Bruno
" Well I'm not most shopkeepers !" states Granny
"You can say that again " mumbles Bruno
" Pardon ? "
" Nothing ! Just coughed " says Bruno then having a fake couching fit
" Just make sure you don't miss bits and rub the windows until they shine. We are already late opening because of that Mrs Mum and her it's too grey out to take photos in an unlit village ! " Granny complains " It's chilly out here " and heads inside.
Bruno was relieved when Granny went back inside until he realised she was still watching him work ! and pointing at parts of the pane he was cleaning !
Bruno decides to stand on the new postbox that appeared in the spring, so he can reach the top corner, he just hopes Granny doesn't reappear and start shouting ! He hears the phone start ringing and granny answering and putting on her posh voice, so it must be the new supplier she was talking about last night at dinner. All sounded a bit too good to be true to him but there is no telling granny !
Granny is certainly a taskmaster, but then Harrods and Selfridges didn't get where they are by having smeary windows!
ReplyDeleteGranny says exactly right! and she could have been up there with Harrods and Selfridges if not for Mrs Mum and her inability to get her act together !
DeleteWe are looking forward which decoration Granny will put in those very well cleaned windows!
ReplyDeleteGranny does love a nice Christmas window . But especially likes it to be almost empty come Christmas eve ! ;)
