It’s a bit much, one can’t even enjoy a nice gentle stroll around the kitchen table searching for Mariella’s secret salad stash without bumping into something some careless person has left lying about.

Who left this here then? And, more to the point, what on earth is it?

What does it say on this here label?

Oh! ‘Handle with care’ and ‘Hand wash only’.

Maybe if I just take a closer look at this bit over here . . .

Those bright red blobs look just like Mummy’s extra special ‘Going out once in a Blue Moon’ shiny finger nails.

Hummmph – and that chain thingy looks very much like her special – ‘What on earth do you want for Christmas this year’, bracelet! Charming!

Just a minute – let’s examine all the evidence. Mummy’s finger nails, Mummy’s wrist. Ooo err, it can’t be –  can it? IT IS!!!!!

Eeeeeeeeeeeek – Mummy’s hand has dropped off!

She was always saying that she wore her fingers to the bone keeping up with my modest dietary requests.

Don’t panic . . . do not panic! DADDDDDDYYYYYYY – quick! There’s a hand on the loose!

Errr, I was only, err, teasing. I knew it wasn’t really Mummy’s real hand. I DID!

Mummy is busy clicking away with the ‘Box that Captures Fairy Magical Moments’ thing, and she needs BOTH hands for that.

Panic over. Not that I was actually panicking you understand. Picnicking maybe – but not panicking!!!

It’s actually amazingly nice and soft and snuggly . . .

. . . and those little charms things look good enough to eat!

Goodness – all this exploring, YAWN, makes a fearless Fairy very tired. Time for a little . . .

. . . Handy, snooze zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

5 hours later . . . yawn  . . . stretch . . . this wonderful handy pad snuggle cosy was specially hand crafted for Fairy by my best friend Jenny, and will come in handy for when Mummy and Daddy are too busy for cuddles. It’s FHANDTASTIC!
