It was a bit of an oversight on Smudgelet's part, not to ask for the present he most wanted when he wrote to Santa. I mean, the elves were busy making him a hot wheels turbotube track when I sent them a hurried email to say he'd slipped up and forgotten to mention the model railway.
We have a new railway buff in the family. SO much for my plans for extra storage space in the loft... the male members of my family seem to have other ideas for that space. It was perfect for Smudgelet and Uncle Scrooge to spend time together over the last few days - they have never really bonded that well, the two of them, and finally they have found something they have in common. The table was taken over by the Smudgeville Express - and Uncle Scrooge was so impressed that he even inaugurated a special carriage and had a station named after him.
I'm happy as larry, whoever he is. That's birthday and Christmas presents sorted for many years to come.
