just another infrequently regular update on the boys, look you see, for the benefit of them friends and family around the world who use this blog as a conduit to maintain awareness of such. and of course well wishing, random strangers who pop by from time to time.
at first to the last, then, with William. or if you will, indeed perhaps more pertinently, William's passion for strawberry that is more exotic or notable than would be the norm. he recently requested some strawberries, upon which he may feast, and so i did my best not to disappoint.
yes, indeed. as you can perhaps see without further wording from me, i was able to procure a packet, nay punnet, of strawberries what featured a "twin" strawberry in it. this is a matter which delighted William a great deal, for it is not something that he could recall seeing before.
normally, or perhaps usually, it is the more massive the size of a strawberry which impresses William. adventures such as those related to the size of a strawberry can be found by clicking here, and for good measure here too. whilst the twin strawberry lacked the usual exciting size value, it was all the same welcomed.
and now James. many of you have followed, with altering degrees of interest, the cricket season which has just been completed. there was recently an "end of season" awards sort of thing, and i can tell you with considerable pride that James collected one of the awards that was issued.
most splendidly James won the award for best bowler of the year. considering his team featured some truly great and promising practitioners of this art this was rather fantastic in the most excellent sense of the word.
to his infinite credit James has played down the nature of this triumph. for him the focus is always on how well the team is playing, and how fantastic it has been to be part of a special, indeed spectacular, season. his taking of such a view makes us all the more proud, but yes we are encouraging him to, even if but for a moment, accept praise when it is given.
so what happened with the twin strawberry, or if you like strawberries that was but one strawberry? not long after this picture was taken - moments, as point of fact - it was eaten. and i am reliably informed that it was a most splendid thing to eat, it being particularly sweet.
as i have commented before it is a truly wonderful aspect of the modern world that we can now eat strawberries (of any nature) throughout the course of a year. at one stage, before the globalisation of crops and all that, here in England you really only got strawberries during the two weeks of Wimbledon and that tennis thing. well, fresh ones at the least. now the supply of strawberries no longer seems to depend on any sort of sport, let alone one which employs racquets or if you like rackets.
righty-ho, that would be that for this for now, then. more as and when it happens!
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
