as part of our fun day in the city, we took the babies to bill’s beergarten – local german-style social gathering spot, outside, and right in the hub of town. while there, they fully embraced the spirit of the environment.
looking back, things must have been way too fun, as i got a call to pick up some things we’d left behind. nothing like the feeling the morning after, as i humbly returned to the scene to pick up my grandson’s sippy cup and bag of baby things.
now there’s a life lesson from your grandmother.
james – loyal and understanding employee of bill’s beergarten, (and advocate of the “what happens at bill’s, stays at bill’s” policy), returns the goods with a laugh and a kind word.

This reminds me of something that was forgotten one night. A gang of us girls were away for one night and had as you can imagine a good night. The next day one of the girls was in a state. She was the president of the society who had the dance the night before. She was missing her (extremely large) chain of office and a 150 year old historic (very large) bell. We couldn’t believe it. We went shamefully back to the scene of the crime but no joy. We went into the hotel and they offered to go through the CCTV. We all shouted “no” as we had no wish to witness our leaving the night before ( we were last to leave). Thankfully she eventually found them, they had been put into the wrong car and handed in! So I do get the “walk of shame”.

The toddle of shame – how cute is that title and James what a sweety for being so obliging and keeping the secrets safe. I smiled through this Beth. We have little beer gardens at back of Pubs or as full pubs in Melbourne, with large gardens to sit under trees in summer and enjoy good food and company and …beer. You performed your duties well as a grandmother – pats you on the back (and there has been many a time) when I have forgotten something from the night before, usually it was to bring my ‘controlled – only have one or two ‘ self. :-) x
