Patrick Balfe, a friend of my mother's from Nassau, stayed with us for a few days last week. Maia was slightly unsure of him for about 3 seconds, but after he complimented her enthusiastically on her lovely wellie boots, she warmed up.
So much so, in fact, that Patrick got a full introduction to both sets of wellie boots - blue and pink. He dutifully exclaimed their splendiferousness, and this spurred Maia on to show him her matching umbrella. Once all the ingredients for a game of 'It Is Raining Inside' were assembled, she tramped about the kitchen, wellies and umbrellas ahoy, trying to protect everybody from the rain.
A very successful visitor indeed. One breakfast-time he even let her try his (precious) Frank Cooper's Orange Marmalade. I think she really wanted to like it, and exclaimed how it was very nice, until the taste actually hit her. At which point it, and the toast it was on, was summarily ejected. Maybe next time.
