sometimes things just happen,

As Summer is fading and The dark nights are looming, I switch from outdoor to my indoor hobbies and, one is balsawood model plane making, they are hard to find at a price I want to pay so. An early start is all important, Today I see an advert on facebook for a guy selling 10,000 model planes but, They are all plastic but, I messaged him asking if he had any balsawood and later on he answered, " yes I have one" So I answered and said, " reet I'll buy it" and we agreed on £20 for the kit, I paid via Paypal with another £5 for delivery, He is based in Preston,

Then at 7.30 pm the front doorbell went and its the bloke with the model plane, Amazed and confused but excited I took the model and asked, " why have you come to Wigan", He said I meet my mates most weeks in Wigan at the Wetherspoons so, I thought I'd drop it off"., Beat that for service,,,,

aye but, That's not the end of the balsa because, As you know, Mrs Plums been away for a weekend break and when she got home, Found another balsawood model in a back street shop for a tenner, then another in one of the ' tat markets' for a Fiver and the cheery on the cake was, A balsawood hedgehog model,
She walked in the door Pizz wet through because she got caught in the rain but a rainbow had formed around her with a pot of balsawood gold in her bag,
