As if there isn’t enough going on in a bathroom already (well there always is for me),
here follows what my family and I like to do when confronted with a toilet,
besides the obvious of course…
When we’re in England!
We are delighted that the toilet paper in the U.K. comes in different hues, as do toasters, kettles, mixers, cafetieres, tea pots and any number of other kitchen appliances that have no place in this anecdote but serve as a means to have a gentle poke at America.
Where’s your sense of fun you guys?
What’s with only white toilet paper?
Who goes ape over white TP?
I mean, where’s the ambition, the carefree spirit, the whimsy, the derring- do?
Go pink and lemon, baby blue and green;
Go all the lovely pastels that keep Britain Great and reigning supreme over all thrones royal and common.
When in England we do what the English do,
We buy the soft and cushiony papier in all its colours,
and here’s what else we do, we display our spare rolls on the back of the loo, or window sill,
and take pictures of our designs.
The rule is,
we have to out-create the last person who sculpted, or whatever it is you call what we get up to in the smallest room in the house!
The artistic bent is dominant in our family….
so the designs are ever changing,
and it doesn’t matter where the bathroom, the game goes on!
Even in America we occasionally succumb.
I found this majestic Leaning Tower of Peester in our house-sitting home in Turkey Creek, Florida,
Pretty cool,
even if it is all white huh?
Well hello there! My name is Vivienne McNeny.
I am an empty nester exploring life as a Boomer…you could say I'm happily Boomering along!
As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not!
In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.

We Americans have no idea what we’ve been missing out on!
