This is the brolly all tattered and torn....

This is the house that Dom built (well mended with DIY!)



This is the brolly all tattered and torn 
That is kept in the house that Dom built.



This is The Custards all forlorn
 Who mended the brolly all tattered and torn
 That is kept in the house that Dom built.


This is the fabric all shattered and worn
 That was used by The Custards all forlorn
 Who mended the brolly all tattered and torn
 That is kept in the house that Dom built.



This is the sun in the early morn
 That shone on  the fabric all shattered and worn
 That was used by The Custards all forlorn
 To mend the brolly all tattered and torn
 That is kept in the house that Dom built.



This is the pattern (all in fawn)
 That is lit by the sun  in the early morn
 That shone on  the fabric all shattered and worn
 That was used by The Custards all forlorn
To mend the brolly all tattered and torn
 That is kept in the house that Dom built.



This is the grass (made into a lawn)
 That sheltered the pattern  (all in fawn)
 That is lit by the sun  in the early morn
 That shone on  the fabric all shattered and worn
 That was used by The Custards all forlorn
 To mend the brolly all tattered and torn
 That is kept in the house that Dom built.




This is the brolly, all in good form
 That is placed on the grass  (made into a lawn)
 That sheltered the pattern  (all in fawn)
 That is lit by the sun  in the early morn
 That shone on  the fabric all shattered and worn
 That was used by The Custards all forlorn
 To mend the brolly all tattered and torn
 That is kept in the house that Dom built.




This is The Custards who, with a yawn
 Sat under the  brolly, all in good form
 That is placed on the grass  (made into a lawn)
 That sheltered the pattern  (all in fawn)
 That is lit by the sun  in the early morn
That shone on  the fabric all shattered and worn
 That was used by The Custards all forlorn
 To mend the brolly all tattered and torn
 That is kept in the house that Dom built.......





This is Dom...who is fed up of it all!


PS Here is Dom carefully crafting supports for the peas with some old guttering cover - this was needed after I carefully used the pea sticks as kindling for the fire....


Part 2 to follow soon....


Sadly have not used my time as wisely as I should have so a little behind (I think that we all guessed that might happen)...no change there then....

    2. Sorry I couldn't have joined in the festivities. I promise I would have only sung the song once! Wish it would have turned out to be a better day for you.
