That boy will do well in his chosen course - he definitely has the knack of turning a discussion round to his advantage - do they have copious quantities of mangos in South Africa? If not I feel he may be disappointed
ReplyDeleteHe will go far - metaphorically as well as literally. A chap after my own heart, for sure!

I've said it before and I'll say it again... that young Master M will go far!
ReplyDeleteMaster M is a joy! Like the waitress, I too have a HUGE smile when I hear of his 'exploits'! My grandson loved Stellenbosch and came back with an impressive knowledge of South African wine, much to the despair of his parents and the delight of his grandfather!

Master M you are an inspiration to us all.
ReplyDelete... sounds like flirting to me... bet that boys has to beat them back with a stick!
ReplyDelete)figuratively speaking of course.
Do we know the name of the local Stellenbosch paper? Is it worth clubbing together to put in ad to let the local know young Master M is coming after Christmas. You know, so they can lock up their daughters and all.
ReplyDeleteHee hee! You couldn't make it up!
ReplyDeleteThat was a big discount. MasterM is worth gold!
ReplyDeletePaola
Could I borrow him sometime please?
ReplyDeleteYou never get that problem with chocolate cake.
ReplyDeleteAlice - Thank you for your comment - you are always such a wise lady.
ReplyDeleteWend
He is quite the seasoned charmer!
ReplyDeleteHe's breaking my heart all the way from here!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Master M is (as always) simply brilliant! K x
