Hardcore Living
Recently a BBC researcher contacted me and asked if the family would be willing to be filmed for a series on vicarage life. Obviously, narcissism urged me to say yes. I could be the next Amy Childs, only in an M&S cardie. The church teas on Fridays would be seething with fans wanting to bond with the Vicar over a Jammy Dodger. And watching the episodes would keep me going through the suspenseful wait for the next series of Rev . Indeed, said the researcher, a real-life Rev is what they are after. A heart-warming, fun-filled glimpse into family life in a vicarage to follow Songs of Praise . It was at that point I knew we had to say no. Any fly-on-the-wall portrait of our vicarage life would have to be shown after the 9pm watershed to protect the nation's children. I myself would find it hard to stomach: Graphic footage of me wrestling my chin bristles with deadly steel weaponry in the bathroom and, sheathed in rubber, delving for the plastic Smurf someone's dropped down
Bauble bauble water olympics
ReplyDeleteBloody bubble gum....
ReplyDeleteA middle aged matron tries desperately to keep her children clean until the Bishop comes to tea.
ReplyDeleteThe water rose up so much it surrounded them and looked like a ball
ReplyDeleteThat should keep the kids occupied for a while, now time for a coffee and a chocolate.
ReplyDeleteAnna feared she may have made the bubble bath mixture a little too strong.
ReplyDeleteAt last the children were contained and couldn't get into any mischief... ah time for a sit down... every house should have one of these!
ReplyDeleteLets see how they get out of this one then! Now, where's my coffee?
ReplyDeleteYou can't wrap them up in cotton wool - but you can put them in a giant bubble!
ReplyDeleteWe are in a bit of a bubble at the moment. Don't burst it.
ReplyDeletemum we got to get one of these for the garden!
ReplyDeleteWho said only Jesus could walk on water?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely pair!
ReplyDeleteBut these baubles proved too big for the Christmas tree
Give them a shake and see if it snows
ReplyDeleteThe vicar's balls were really rather large.
ReplyDeletemammy not wanted us to get wet went to extremes
ReplyDeleteIf I push just a little bit harder I know I can burst your bubble
ReplyDeleteThe pack did say 'Giant Bubbles'!
ReplyDeleteOK, which one of you farted in the bath?
ReplyDeleteThe kids were off in their own bubble again! This always happened when Mum shouted to tidy up!
ReplyDeleteErm, I'm having deja vu! Aren't you?
