Laurence and his sausages

We were recently at this lovely little craft fair at Heaton Fold garden centre in Bolton when Laurence came in from the car park to buy some sausages for tea.  However, when he saw our books, he decided to spend his money on an illustrated children’s storybook for his little boy.  So he bought Arkwright the Duck instead.  The result was he had no money left for sausages!

A man with all the right priorities in life, wouldn’t you say?
