So for simply the reason of tidying up, the Wonderful Ninky Nonk ended up being put in the window, and then all of a sudden a strange thing happened.....Every single person in Oreston comes to stand and stop and look into our window, hours sometimes days they stand and stare and admire the workmanship.
Today, whilst at the shops ( a good mile away ) i over heard a mother and her son talking, and she was saying " no i don't think it is a real Ninky Nonk in the window"
It's like the shop window in bagpuss, and i feel like we are doing a retro service to the public, giving a focus for families to talk and discuss and smile and believe in something magical.
As for the boy at the shop....... i whispered to him that it was real when his mum wasn't looking, and told him the garden was behind the house.
