Geoffrey Gets Some Exercise

It is strange in these days of hi tech toys that the simple things still appeal.
Geoffrey has seen many miles in many houses under the control of successive generations. Last week he had a workout at the hands of Matt and Jayne's dear little daughter, Eli. He still works perfectly despite (was he originally Jonathon's toy?) being pulled all over the house by our children then the grandchildren.
Eli proved to be good natured and sweet despite the arduous programme of visiting relatives and shopping that the time in Sydney involved. May be her good nature is due in part to the dietary supplements she makes a part of each day (self imposed).
Here she is sampling the hoya flowers, never been tempted myself - pretty though they are. The previous day she had been ingesting some of the white floral arrangement we had intended to supplement the table for the evening meal but not in the way Eli chose to use it.
All, it seems; to no ill effect...

  1. She is a delight isn't she? She reminds me so much of Matt too.
    I don't remember Geoffrey being around when we were kids...I thought he was from Toys R Us...Rach, do you remember?

  2. No, I have no recollection of Geoffrey either. Eli looks so entirely a Sharpham. She has Matt's hair.
