What do we think Alfie and Annie Rose are doing now?

(Put this in "grown up" section as I thought it more appropriate than children's books...)

Another sleepless night and I was reminiscing in my head about reading to the dcs and how much we enjoyed Shirley Hughes. And then I wondered how old Alfie and Annie Rose might be and what they would be doing now.

Annie Rose is definitely an actress. Not a Hollywood or even television actress, but a serious stage actress at the Royal Shakespeare Company, I reckon.

Alfie... I'm thinking either a History teacher or civil servant.

They are still close but there has been some friction over who inherits grandma's lovely house in the country with the pig in the next field.

Dogger

Bella should be running the country. I imagine she is a tireless A And E Consultant.

Dave runs a hipster cafe in Horton.

What was the name of the baby they gave licks of their ice cream to?

I loved reading Shirley Hughes books to my DCs.

Dogger is exquisite.

I read that to DD last night, the one about the party. I hate trifle but I'd definitely rather eat trifle than play Ring O' Roses!

Not sure but My Naughty Little Sister and Bad Harry are enjoying their retirement.

I think Alfie May be a plumber. I agree that Annie Rose has a flair for the dramatic so maybe an actress or art teacher.
Bernard is probably very attractive and owns an art gallery.

Ah, Bernard. An MP?

I had to make a Bonting! He didn't out too well.

Are Thing 1 and Thing 2 in parliament?

BlossomCat · 07/03/2019 10:48

I still think of Alfie and Annie Rise with fondness, they were our bedtime reading for many years, and my two both had blonde hair and were a similar age difference, so they felt very relevant.
Has Bernard gone down the straight and narrow, or is he still a naughty man?
Is Bonting still in a box somewhere, dressed in a tatty piece of fabric, or has he been thrown away?
