Battle for Marakesh
The other day I was at my nanny’s house with Daddy when he disappeared up into a hole in the ceiling to look for something. When he came down again he held in his hand a dusty old box. He said that it belonged to him when he was a little boy and that he had forgotten all about it. When I took the lid off I discovered lots of soldiers and Daddy said that I could have them.
As you can see, I’m having great fun with my new soldiers and today I reinacted the famous Battle of Marakesh of 12th September 1943 (don’t bother to look it up, just trust me). Take a closer look at the action.
The Moroccan Arabs came to the aid of the Germans but fortunately for the British, the Scots were on hand to terrify the Reich with their incessant bagpipe playing and tartan skirts.
As far as I know the battle is still raging on but I had to leave the action to have my tea.
Totally unrelated, I thought you might like to see a picture of me at Planet Zoom in Dereham, another of my favourite haunts.Â
 
I know exactly what you’re thinking – it is an amazing coincidence isn’t it?
Adios mi amigos
