It was like being Rosie & Jim…
Remember Rosie & Jim….you know the puppets that sail about on the narrowboat having various adventures…. watch this clip to refresh your memory!
Well it wasn’t the Ragdoll we were on but Zazou.
We went on a cruise and dine through Edinburgh on Friday night. Erin was thrilled with being on a narrowboat even though she doesn’t know Rosie & Jim, she just stared at me blankly when I sang the theme intro to her (kids these days…!). I had portobello mushrooms with salsa verde, steak, and lemon cheesecake, which was really nice, but not quite as good as seeing Erin enjoying her first sailing experience.
Apparently there are quite a few of these cruise and dine narrowboats in Edinburgh, but I think they should have a Rosie & Jim themed one for the kids, with colouring and a special Rosie & Jim puupet show…now that’s a cruise I’d like to go on!
Ah, yes, Rosie and Jim! It’s the terms of endearment they use for each other that I love – like “Noggin”. I’ve never, ever heard anyone else use such a phrase – apart from Rosie.
The cruise and dine sounds like fun. Glad you all enjoyed it.
