Patent Remedies

The lovely MissE is not well

and so MasterM has summoned up all our family magic

to make her better.

Meet the Poorly Teddy.

He is a teddy who dances for you and plays a merry tune

when you fall over and bump your knee.

It distracts you for long enough

for your mother to slap on a plaster.

Especially useful for accident prone little boys.

This is the LemSip mug

It was painted by MissM when she was five at a school fete

and is used for hot drinks when you have ‘flu.

Especially useful for man ‘flu.

Dumbo and the Duvet

The final stage before hospitalisation

is an afternoon on the sofa under the duvet watching Dumbo.

It works every time.

I was very touched by this.

Sometimes family traditions grow and become more important than you realise.

MasterM may be a hard bitten athlete-in-training

but he still believes that the Poorly Teddy can make you better.
