MARY POPPINS IN THE HEART OF BRITTANY





Some of our Dear Readers may not know that Madame Caille is also known as Mary Poppins.


This photo (above) from 2005 proves it. With a rendition of "Just a Spoonful of Sugar".


Fast forward to July 20, 2008. We attended a Collector Car Rallye and when we came home, look what was in our garden.














She was here! She was here!




And then Bert, aka Christian, got into the act as it is indeed a jolly holiday:

And then MP began to sing---

And the finale was

Please note, Dear Readers, that MP's cats, Mistinguette and Piaf, always come to MP when she sings.

There is also a darling "rouge gorge" -- our own little Robin Red Breast -- who visits us every morning. Those familiar with the original Mary Poppins may recall that when she sings JASoS the little robin alights upon her finger. (Our videographer did not capture MP singing "... a robin feathering his nest has very little time to rest while gathering the bits of twine and twig..." but a bit of twine and twig was placed gently on Piaf...)











MP is here to stay for a while until the wind begins to blow again. You'll see!
