B is for Bells.
My husband realised that when someone rung the door bell he wouldn't hear it if he was in the garden or shed. He acquired a brass hand bell, the sort they ring in school to call the children in to classes. This was mounted on the back of the garage and attached to a wire that ran to the front of the garage. From this wire he hung a leather dog lead which, if pulled, rang the bell!! Problem solved.
However, only those in the know would know about this so he put a sign on the front door " If no answer, go to the garage and pull Eeyore's tail".
There was another sign on the garage, written in Winnie the Pooh style writing that said " Pull my tail, Luv Eeyore".
The signs and the Tail are long gone but the bell is still attached to the garage. Sometimes, on a stormy night, it rings, ever so faintly, and I imagine its my husband trying to tell me something..........or is it Eeyore? (Halloween tale?)
