Just precious


This is the new saying for twee.

"It's just precious"

Practice it, we will be using it a lot. Perhaps to describe the old gardening books, mini vases of local ranunculus or a vintage photograph of a girl and basset? I know, the shop has outdone itself today.

Or perhaps we will use it to describe Alys and her new TV series. Whilst we were all focused on Miss Dahl, a young girl is growing vegetables, shot in sepia, with a dog.

Oh my

Not the most instructional of programmes, top-line whimsy, one suspects Alys knows a lot more, but heaven forbid she should share her horticultural knowledge when there are falafel to be made. Of course there will be a book, i shall be first in line.

Strangely, I didn't feel the need to hide behind a cushion cringing like I do with Miss Dahl, but if anybody comes at me with a pea shoot martini.......

Just precious

Oh my God I say precious all the time. I feel like I should stop for fear of mocking.
Will stop.

Oh Miss P. I just saw I made your list and am not so secretly delighted. Is that twee of me? Can't get the link in your post to work so I hesitate to use precious.
