Me: My goodness you all really missed Tony. He got a proper welcome and a tea towel from Dave.
Nell: He always gets a welcome.
Me: This was a huge one.
Nell: He’s been gone far too long.
Me: He had an injured ankle, and then he and Sue went on holiday.
Nell: Well, it was over a week.
Me: Everyone needs a holiday.
Nell: Still. We need our Tony visits.
Me: You know he won’t be our postman when we move house, Nell, don’t you?
Nell: Quiet. David doesn’t know about the change of postman.
Me: Maybe we should warn him?
Nell: There’s plenty of time for warnings. We haven’t even got a buyer yet.
Me: True.
Nell: Let the poor animal enjoy his time with Tony while he can.
Me: You’re making it sound awfully dramatic.
Nell: It is.
Me: Tony can still visit us. He and Sue will always be welcome.
Nell: Don’t forget Toby.
Me: Toby, too.
Nell: I don’t like change.
Me: Neither do I. But as you always say, needs must.
Nell: Sometimes I wish I wasn’t right all the time.
Me: You’re not. Anyway, I wanted to talk about the price of the Cuddle Nells.
Nell: They cost more than many people were expecting.
Me: That’s because they are handmade here in the UK and are collectors items. I didn’t want to go to China.
Nell: Canterbury Bears have created them especially for us.
Me: The high quality of the Cuddle Nells reflects the way I feel about you and my audience. You’re all very special and I don’t want to offer you anything that isn’t.
Nell: Yes.
Me: Does that make sense?
Nell: It does.
Me: I would buy everyone a Cuddle Nell if I could.
Nell: We know.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
